    6" jointer - good deal?

    Been looking for a used jointer in the $150 and under range. What do you think of this one. The first one I've seen on CL (for my price range) that didn't look like it was built with rust. Good deal???

    It has been GONE THROUGH and REFINISHED, and WORKS GREAT.

    The CUTTERS have recently been PROFESSIONALLY RESHARPENED.

    Has a PORTABLE STAND including a SAWDUST COLLECTION BAG .

    I simply don't do much finish woodwork and I need the space.

    That's sharp.
    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

        They were originally gray. I think that one (and the stand too) have all been spray painted silver (a bad sign in my opinion). Also that model did not have very long beds, I've passed on those before at $100.

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          Hmm... well he's asking $150 and wouldn't even consider $100.
