A relative purchased a Delta DJ-20 8" jointer, used for under 400.00, looks pretty good with the usual tarnish/rust from not being used for a while. The problem is the fence is bent, looks like 1/4+ inch bow over the lenght of the fence. I see that no online parts distributers have any in stock and Delta has no indication as to when or if they will ever have one.
The question is, after comparing the parts diagrams of Delta and Grizzly they seem to be very (if not exactly) the same. I know that the cutterheads can be exchanged, and drive belts/pulleys have been talked about as being interchangeable.
Has anyone have any experience with the possibility of using the Grizzly fence on the Delta jointer?? (both parallelogram jointers)
