Yates American jointer restored

[Patrick Walsh]

I thought that place Peter used up in Michigan to fix the Rhode Island mess was pretty inexpensive all said and done. Of course I didn’t talk to him but I heard some number per sqft that was way lower than I would had ever expected. Low enough I’d never hesitate if I had the need knowing someplace good to go that could 100% get me what I expected.

As for heads I have no idea. Depending on the condition of the tables on the new t23 I’m half considering making the drive.

But yeah I wouldn’t spend $6k for a head in a old machine like that. Or would I lol. Hard to say with me just never know what I’ll get my sights set on lol..

You better pay 500 after all that work.

Good grinding isn't cheap, cheap grinding isn't good.

Have close to 4 in a head.

I love my Babbitt bearing 30" jointer, super smooth and quiet, but I wouldn't put a 6k head in it.

Should be about 1k to grind tables and fence. The fence and outfeed table ledge are the hard parts.

Your talking bandsaw I think.

I’m talking jointer.

"D'oh!!"...wrong Darcy thread. LOL
