About a year and a half ago I had a fire in my shop. Afterwards I checked the tables on my jointer and everything still appeared to be flat (it is a big chunk of steel after all). I decided that if the motor was salvageable that I would restore it. Well, the motor only needed new bearings and a cleaning so you can see the results below. I did upgrade to a byrd cutterhead as part of the restoration.
