I pulled the trigger on the jointer upgrade. This 8" sweetheart is about 10 years old, one owner and was virtually unused. Tables are flat and co-planer, fence is flat, like the day it left the factory. Only problem is the pork chop blade guard is cracked and needs a repair/replacement. Unfortunately it's not the long bed model, but it should be a nice little precision machine, perhaps worthy of a shelix upgrade one day.
Yes!
ReplyDeleteNice score.
ReplyDeleteI have the pork chop for you jointer i think its brand new (i'm 90% sure it's for your model)! It's yours if you'd like. The previous owner of my poitras jointer bought it unaware a 8" pork chop will not fit a 12" jointer.
