    New tool it the shop gloat

    Was able to take advantage of the 10% off at the Greensboro Woodcraft last week for the JJ6CSX 6" jointer for $360.00.

    Assembly was fairly simple and very close to ready out of the box. All I had for a test run was some scrap 2x4 but cut good and strait

    I've been fairly lucky being able to buy most of my tools with discounts or have found good used.

    The one I've used daily for six years. Great tool.

    That is a nice deal on a nice jointer. I paid about $150 more for that jointer about 8 years ago.

    Bryan, congratulations on the new addition to your shop. I've heard good things about the Jet jointer. Some day, I'll have space and funds for a jointer. Let us know how well you like it.

    Good Deal.....

    Great price on a nice jointer.....I need to upgrade my Delta 6" benchtop model!
    Did the $360 price include the mobile base?

    Bryan, I see you have to share your shop space with John also! (looks like a LT155?)

    No it did'nt, the mobile base was extra but still got 10% off on it also.

    The Deer is an LT180 great mower. The first one I had (stx 38) served me 15 years. Gave it to my nephew and still runs.
