A couple of weeks ago I was browsing the classifieds section of another forum and found a killer deal for a shopfox 8" jointer and 15" planer. 2 different units not a combo. He said they were several years old but never used and was asking $800 for both. It was a pick up only deal obviously and I'm convinced the only reason why no one else had bought it yet. I already had a jointer so I called my friend who was looking for an 8" and we checked it out the next day at his storage unit. Got there and it looked great. Even had some dried up cosmoline (or similar) and the wax paper on it. Took forever to clean that stuff off. They crammed every corner with that goop.
We talked and he mentioned he was clearing out his storage unit and selling a bunch of stuff. Alot of them he never used because they were for a shop that never materialized. I was almost about to leave when I noticed a large yellow cone in the back. Asked if that was for a cyclone and he said yes. It was for a Oneida Super Gorilla 3HP cyclone. I asked it was for sale and he said yes but he would need time to get to it because it was buried under tons of other stuff. Just like the jointer and planer, it was new and never put together. Finally went back today, paid the man his $600 and got it in the shop. There's no way it's going to fit inside the shop so I'm going to build a small closet for it just outside. It came with a wall mount and remote. The canister is 35g and I plan on building a little base for it that will have wheels. If I can find a good deal on 50+ gallon canister I will probably upgrade it. Anyway here they are. I'm still waiting for my 220V outlet and plug for the planer and obviously the cyclone still needs to be assembled.
This is how it should look, save for a wall mount instead.
