I am looking at buying proper woodworking machinery.

I would be looking to get:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Table saw
[*]Jointer (maybe with integrated thicknesser)
[*]Miter saw
[*]Dust extractor
[/list]

I want good quality machinery at reasonable prices. I was thinking of the JET JTS-600 http://www.strandhardware.co.za/strandNew/index.php?pid=gallery&scode=WMJTS60/A and other JET equipment. I want something better than DIY class, but it doesn't have to be heavy industrial either. Something in the enthusiast DIY / light industrial category would do.

Where in the JHB area is a reputable place to buy machinery such as this and get advice I can trust? Hardware Centre? http://www.woodworkmachines.co.za/? http://www.gfpmachines.com/? I have never been to any of these so I have no idea what is going on there, just found them with Google.

I'd appreciate your recommendations.
