I dont post often but really enjoy reading/learning from everyone here. I finally made the dive into the PM world. Now time to get some advice on how to clean up/tune up on a budget.
I have been looking for a deal on a jointer for quite sometime but most CL listings are 3-4 hours away. This baby popped up only 20 minutes away on a FB exchange site. It needs some cleaning and mods to help with dust collection. Any suggestions on how to best remove the surface rust and get the fence adjustments working better?

Now since I made the plunge I figured what better way to commit than buying a second.

I would like to figure out the best way to build a motor cover, and seal it up to improve dust collection. I have started digging around on here but if someone has some ideas they would like to share that would be awesome.
Now for the brag part. He had them listed for $500 for the jointer and $800 for the saw. Walked out with both for $900. I thought that was an "ok" deal. Do need to put some elbow grease into getting them where I would like to have them at.
