    super sized all, AMERICAN Iron jointer!

    Is anyone interested in an Aircraft Sized jointer ? I'm not kidding here this thing is a monster! I saw it today at at friend's cabinet shop...he has had it
    sitting in the shop for at least 20 years and has never set it up to operate.
    Needed the room so it has been moved outside for now.
    It has some surface rust on it and needs restoring to make it operational.
    ( nothing serious on the rust problem)

    On the front it says AMER.... name was partially coved with something,
    This jointer is all cast iron and steel....no cheap stuff here, built in USA
    when they really built heavy duty machines!

    The bed on this rabbetting jointer is ....depth (front to back) 21"
    bed length overall: is 86" long (over 7' long)
    weight estimated at 2000 lbs. or possibly more.
    motor...very large probably weighs 150-200 lbs. and has 3 v-type drive belts
    under the cover/ guard that would be at least 4'-5' in length!
    I'm guessing here that motor is either 220 v or 440v 3 phase don't know
    for sure at least 10 or more hp. by the way it does have the cast iron fence
    and cutter knives installed on it and a magnetic starter switch!

    If anyone is interested let me know by pm...will try and get pictures and more info. if you need it. thanks for looking...eezlock

    Is he wanting to just get rid of it? Are you talking a 21" wide planer?
    I could have someone pick it up from our branch office, but it would be months before I'd get it down here. We have the equipment to pick it up, transport it, and store if for a few months....

    Man, I could get rid of my planer and jointer (and air-craft carrier).

      I'd wager it's gonna end up being 3 phase
      The voices made me do it.

        Yes, he is wanting to get rid of it for sure was in his way. It is a 21" Jointer
        not a planer...as I said earlier....biggest one I have ever seen for sure! As far as I know,it is 3 phase power. This thing weighs way over a ton...will have to have a good forklift to load onto a truck! The bed of this JOINTER is over
        7 feet long. It is located in Charlotte,N.C. off I-85 service rd. eezlock
