I recently bought a used Sunhill 6" jointer that I thought only needed new bearings. After tearing it down I found that the cutterhead shaft is worn due to the bad bearing. The only good thing about my sad tale is that when I called Sunhill about parts, the phone was answered by a real, honest-to-gosh person! Better than that, she had a nice voice, a sense of humor and went out of her way to help me out. She even consoled me for having to put almost as much money into the used jointer as I would have spent buying new. I don't feel any better about it, but at least she tried.
