Quickly, I Need Info on Gray RIDGID Jointer

[LeftyTom]

I came across an 6" Ridgid jointer, gray in color, in Aiken SC (3.5 hr trip one way for me). 45" bed, can do 1/2" rabbet, 1 HP, 120/220.

Less than 12 hours left on the auction. Current bid is $175, Buy It Now $250.

Does anyone know if the gray models are of the quality of the orange models?

That looks like the one we have and it's great.

Tom, Don't forget to factor in the $50 (or more) for gas. Also note that 6" jointers frequently come to market when the owner steps up to 8".

Oh, I always factor in the cost or delivery, or picking it up. I've been in contact with a few folks, and no one wants to go under $350.

I won it for $225 (plus a set of extra knives). All I need is directions to pick it up, and whether I need to bring help to load it. I always travel with tie-downs in my truck, but will have to remember to bring a tarp for the trip home.

Of course, I will take along a piece of wood, so I can verify how good it works before loading. I can use this as a benchmark for its performance post-trip.
