Jointer

[dozer]

This is a Gloat and an early Christmas present from my wife and kids. It is one of the tools I was desprately missinf from my shop. I had the pleasure of meeting Dave O yseterday and hanging out in his shop for a little while. I had been seriously looking at this jointer but made up my mind after seeing Dave's jointer and getting his views on it.

 

[Travis Porter]

Good for you Mike. It will get to be a tool you won't know how you lived without.

Congratulations!

congrats friend,
that is a great tool, I have had no problem with mine at all. If it were an 8" i would keep it. But im hunting for something bigger.

 

[toolferone]

Nice score! Can I get your wife to talk to mine about tool purchases.

 

[DavidF]

That's a great jointer I am sure it will do most all you need. Mine has been flawless for quite a while now.

 

[sapwood]

Great score Mike! I'm orange with envy. :lol:
As others noted, that is a tool that will see a lot of usage.

YOU SUCK!

And I bet your wife and kids smiles are as wide as yours :mrgreen:

You should really enjoy the jointer. I've had mine about 5 yrs and no problems.

Congrats...having a jointer and then a planer completely changes completely changes the types of projects you can do and is cheaper in the long run because you can buy rough lumber and dimension it to your specification/desire. The addition of those machines completely changed my perception of what was possible in my home shop...and that rough lumber gets cheaper every time I use those machines. :icon_thum

 

[Steve D]

Nice score! That will be a terrific addition to the shop.

Ok so I have been using my new jointer and I have to say that all the reviews were right I am really happy with it. My only problem so far has been that I went to The Big Orange Box to find an extra set of blades for it and to my surprise they don't sell them there. Can anyone suggest a place I can buy them ?

 

[DaveO]

I think that you might be able to either order them through Ridgid or I believe Freud carries a knife set that will work. You might check with CharlesM about that.

[dozer]

I sleep a couple hours everyday weather I need it or not :lol:
Thanks Rob I did find a set of Freud Blades that are the right size and the price is not to bad here is a link for anyone else who is interested Amazon.com: Freud C400 6-1/8" x 11/16" x 1/8" Jointer Knives - 3-Piece Set: Tools & Hardware

Mike, I'm glad to you went ahead and got it. But your's is cleaner than mine :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll can vouch for that statement DaveO. Just pickin'.

I see that HD has an online special on those for 319.20. That's an 80 dollar
savings over regular. Probably have to pay shipping. Anyone know?

How difficult is the assembly and set-up process on those things? Sure
would like to get one. Got to make room first. :eusa_pray
