shaneymack Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe he tried picking up the jointer by himself and it fell on top of him. Someone should go check on him, i think he is lying on the concrete with a jointer on his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortan D Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 AFAIK two guys are needed to assemble a jointer, He's probably waiting for help.... Shane? C'mon it's only 700 or so miles away from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 AFAIK two guys are needed to assemble a jointer, He's probably waiting for help.... Shane? C'mon it's only 700 or so miles away from you.I was able to assemble my PM 6" on my own, but it is not advisable. I built a "step ladder" or sorts so I could incrementally lift the bed to the desired height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodger. Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Hey fellas, sorry for the long delay, but the day after I took possession of the jointer I was off to PA for a few days with the family. Then it was my daughters 4th birthday the day after we got back, so i was busy planning and hosting a kids party.Anyways, finally got the jointer out of the box!It was well packaged, and had a decent coat of slime on it to protect the cast iron from rust.I placed the base in a decent spot, and realized that the company I bought it from must have removed the base from the box as they placed a company sticker on it. This will be removed shortly.The I had a friend (he is a gorilla) help me lift the jointer onto the base. I should have asked another friend to help as well, the thing was HEAVY. Then I put the pork chop guard on, installed the belt and cover, screwed the dust chute on, and I was ready to go! I will do a review on this machine in week or so, after I have a few projects under my belt with it. Here are some general observations so far:-Machine was well packaged and included all tools necessary to assemble (screw drivers, wrenches, etc).-Cutter head is a byrd, and they included 6 spare cutters and two Torx screwdrivers for install (same driver, so one is a spare i guess)-Lots of rigid parts, thing is heavy (no vibration when running)-Unit is quieter than my previous 3 blade jointer-DC is good, but not great. I will replace the 4" port with a 5" port and this should help a lot. The shavings this machine creates are "fluffier" than my last jointer (prob due to the shelix), so the DC is handling them differently.-almost 0 tearout on maple fed the wrong direction along the machine on face and edge-no setup required - machine was perfectly tuned out of the box (with the exception of lowering the infeed table to take a deeper cut than the 1/64" it was set to).

I look forward to hearing what your thought are after you get some good use out of it.I looked at the 8" parallelogram model as well, but it's MASSIVE. No way I coulda got the 8 incher into my shop. That is the only jointer other than this one that was on my "new jointer" list. I think that's the model you have, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
