    You sold it because you are bummed out or you're bummed out because you sold it?
    Cheer up, you'll find a replacement.

    You are bummed out this week from having sold a jointer 3 years ago? What brings on these feelings after 3 years?

    Wait, do you hear that sound? I think I hear opportunity knocking. Opportunity to buy another 8" jointer.

    I know how you feel. I have had to, on occasion, part with things I'd just as soon have been able to keep.

    But in the long run, the universe always takes care of me.

    I hear the cost of one year's books for 2 students easily equaling the cost of a new jointer. Its your turn.

    Congrats on the 220! Now go help out the economy and buy that 12" bad boy you've always wanted!

    Have you seen how much text books cost now? Books for one class could buy a jointer.

    LOL! I’ve put two through collage. It’s all relative.

    I can remember when I was 220V-challenged, about 25 years ago. My awsome, almost-new Rockwell RC-33 planer was 220V-only and I could not even run it. It cost me about $200 to have a 100A sub-panel installed in my garage. Shortly after, I acquired a good older rotary phase converter, I was all set for any single- or three-phase machine that might come my way. I have never been guilty of selling off as much as I continued to acquire.

    Take the selling of your Powermatic in stride. You can get another one. Now there's 220V at the end of the tunnel!

    i saw this on craiglist last night and they are willing to deliver it for the asking price...its a 6" woodtek. There is some surface rust, but she claims it has been used twice and is like brand new. I think i am going to go for it.
