I'm new to this forum since around a month or two ago and have learned a LOT from all of you!! thank you! :-) I have been working very hard on a new wood shop in my basement and am excited to get to work on some long awaited projects.
One item I have been on the hunt for is a JOINTER... I found this one local to me for $900. It's an 8" / 72" Powermatic 60 that is the heavy duty version with the 2 HP motor.
It was used in a furniture making commercial shop, not a hobby shop, so it concerned me with it's daily use over the last 15 years. It's a straight knife cutter but the owner assures me that it is set up wonderfully and is smooth as butter...
Is this worth the $900 tag he is asking? I'm sure it could use new knives or to be sharpened, but that's to be expected I would assume...
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
