I recently picked up a used Powermatic model 60 jointer for $300.
Does anyone happen to know the belt length on this model?
I am planning on taking apart the dovetailed ways and cleaning everything up and lubing all the ways and bolts. Is this a difficult project for a mechanicaly inclined person? Also are the gibb screws and plates a pain to re-install? I imagine you hold the table in place and slide the gibb plate into place and tighten the screws?
Im hoping that with a little time and elbow grease this thing should be a nice running jointer. Any advice?
Thanks, Troy
