My turn...

[Pappy]

..to post a gloat.

Picked this up at auction today for $160.



Rockwell Delta 8" jointer with a 66" table length. It is going to need some serious TLC and a better bse with dust collection. The original owner must have been jointing some long stock since a pair of these came with it.



Time and weather have taken a toll on them, but they were well made.

Looks like you could land F14s on that thing!

That's a find Pappy - you'll have fun restoring it, Be sure to post pics along the way. Does it run? Looks like my lathe project.

[Ken Massingale]

Wow, what a score. Have fun getting it in shape, then enjoy.

Wow! What a deal you got on that! I am jealous for sure and can’t wait to see it restored and running. Hey wait! I have seen pictures of your shop and it’s smaller than mine! Where you going to put it???

[Knottscott]

Nice deal Pappy....be sure to followup with some "after" photos.

Looks like a heck of a deal to me Pap. Congratulations. Pat

It actually looks like someone DID! But I'm sure he'll get it looking pretty in no time.

Thanks,

I downloaded a manual for this monster but it doesn't have complete specs in it. Anyone have a similar jointer that can give me a weight on the jointer without the base?

I could have it weighed, but I'm not crazy about the idea of loading/unloading it an extra time if I can avoid it.

[crokett]

Just curious as to why you need to know how much it weighs?

My official answer is 'a heckuva lot'.

[Rounder]

If you have storage problems with that beast, I have room (actually will make room) in my shop. Just crate it up and I will send someone for it.

[Pappy]

It hasd to go on a mobile stand. Just want to make sure it's stout enough to handle the weight.

That may be longer that the shed.:-) :-)
