WTB or WTT for Bandsaw and Jointer

[Chris Jackson]

Would like to buy or trade for a quality (Powermatic, Grizzly, Jet, Laguna, etc...) Bandsaw and Jointer within about 100 miles of Solomon's, MD area.

Rebuilding the shop to construct a few acoustic guitars and need a couple of essentials. Looking for a 14" or larger bandsaw, preferably with a few different sized blades and a decent resaw fence. Primarily I'll be using it to resaw stock and do some fine scroll/trimming work.

I also need a jointer, I'd prefer 8" but 6" will do, tables need to be coplanar and the fence must be well squared. I'll be using a 220vlt circuit for both it would be nice to find machines already wired for 220vlts.

Budget is tight if you are looking for cash, however if anyone is interested in a trade I have a beautiful Gretsch Country Club guitar in immaculate condition ($3000) that I would trade for both tools of good quality. Happy to send some photos to any serious traders.

As a side note also looking for a set of long Paring chisels and a set of water stones.

Thanks,
Chris

Bump...still looking...

It looks like you can get new Grizzly tools in your price range delivered right to your door.

I've got an 8" General long bed jointer I'm looking to part with. It is wired for 220. It was purchased in the early 80's by a friend of mine. I aquired it just before he passed and have only rarely used it. I'm not close enough here on the eastern end of Long Island, NY but I would be glad to meet you in NJ if you want. I make regular trips anyway, to visit my 90 year old dad.
