Thread: New to me jointer!

  1. #1

    New to me jointer!

    Found a good deal online for a PJ882 8" jointer. Been in storage for a while, so needs some work, but easily cleaned up hopefully.

    Also has a 3 phase motor, so will need to get a VFD

    Heres before pics!

    Hopefully this is the last jointer I buy.

    Not very good for long boards.

    Congrats, I like three phase motors very well, would rather ahve that and a VFD. In terms of long boards, I rarely work anything longer than 5 foot, so this would be perfect for me.

    I think Ronald was being sarcastic since this has an "extra long" bed

    Congrats! Very nice looking jointer.

    Fence cleaned up. Not sure about the machine marks. I hit it with wet sand paper over a flat machined piece of steel. Looks like there are some machine marks left, but still feels good.

    PJ882 is a nice machine. Like all tools it needs attention. Miss the one I left in Maine.

    I felt bad for the guy selling, he had to clean out his shop since his machine shop business had to move in, seems he had to downsize, and his home shop became his business. Said he had other tools, but I didnt have the cash on me to buy anything else. He had a big CNC machine for wood, a big sander, and a panel saw like you see in homedepot. Also said he other stuff in another buildng.

    I should have it running by end of the week hopefully!!

    What did you end up paying for the jointer. It's always been high on my list of wants.
