    For those holding out on a jointer...

    A little steel wool and it will be good to go.

    And a fence, and a stand or cabinet of some sort. Chances are that fence will be impossible to find. I have an old Craftsman and the fence is not available through Sears Parts.

    4" jointers are pretty small. I have a 6" jointer and often wish it were 8". As soon as we find a suitable place to move to, I will be ordering an 8" or 12" Grizzly.

      Some junk on Craigslist can be downright funny. Unless of course they are re-listing it 3 time a day. Wonder if that 2x4 is straight.

        I have the 6" version of that joiner, I paid 125.00 motor and stand. they are an excellent joiner heavey cast iron. I have no complaints with mine at all. without the fence I would think that the 60 is a tad high.

          Free would be a good price. Sometimes it takes buying up more than one old iron to make just one.

            I've seen lots of those for sale, I think there's a 4" and a 6" version.
            The one listed is particularly bad shape - looks to be missing the fence and needs a stand to mount the motor and run a belt and pulley up to the jointer... that was from the days when motor and power tool were sold seperately.

            Not a prime acqisition target...

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