I just got my Shop Fox 8" jointer in today. There are 4 other guys in the state who got in on a group purchase from Klingspor - their jointers are on the way from the warehouse here in Hickory.
Anyway, I was able to get this thing put together today. I have not run it yet - I have to get a plug and run a 220V circuit. But I figured I would share some pics - you know what they say... "no pics, didn't happen"!!! :lol:
The model number of this machine is W1741. Apparently they were running low on #1 stickers in the sweat shop that day and started rationing them! :lol:
I can see already that there are some things I like and some things I don't like about this tool, but the dislikes are really fairly minor. Overall I think I'm going to be happy with it. I think this pic just about says it all!
There are lots more pics in this album. I will be posting a review and let ya'll know what I think of this machine as soon as I get it up and running. Thanks to Woodguy for helping me unload this thing and get that big bed up on the cabinet!
