Earlier I asked about the correct paint but this has kind of morphed. I was asking about the correct paint color. I posted there 3 photos showing the jointer.

I couldn't get anything to move so I started tearing it apart. It took me a while but this is where I am today. I also gave the cutter head a spin and I might as well put in some new bearings. Not to much extra work at this point. I am not a fan of insert cutter heads but bearing come with the cutter heads, at least I think so. It is not as expensive as it could be. I probably will just do bearings but I just wanted to say I am considering an insert cutter head. As wall as repainting the whole machine. Anyway, now I know why I couldn't move the tables

It is not every day one gets a first hand look at the ways and things on a jointer, first time for me. So I though I would share.
