JosephThomas Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Should I grab it for 200? I have a working grizzly 6" so it's a marginal upgrade, plus the work to clean it up... It's the 054 model, with the normal size beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Rust doesn't scare me, machined surfaces do that quickly. How rusty is the cutter head? Can you listen to it run? $200 seems low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Cutter head has some rust too, not caked on, but enough that I'd have to pull it out and clean it up, I think. I could probably turn it on, but I'd have to move a few other machines out of the way first...I told them I'd think about it and come back tomorrow if it's still there.

Brendon_t Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 If it runs nicely and the beds are flat, if looks like a good deal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteJr Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 if it's significantly longer than your current jointer then it's worth the $ and rust removal effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'd pay that for it, and I don't even need it. I'd be surprised if it's still there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 If your 6" isn't causing you problems I would pass until an 8" comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 If you cleaned it up. You probably could make a few bucks reselling it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 How far is it from me? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's hiding wayyyy in the back of a hidden room sort of. I was the only one not lazy enough to crawl back in there I guess...there are a few big tools in front of it marked "not for sale" as well, so at first I figured it wasn't for sale either, but I asked of course. It's the same length beds as my current jointer. I'm just worried it'll become another project that distracts me from woodworking if I pick it up and it needs more than just a little work...

JosephThomas Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 They had one of these too...I don't really have space for it, but is it a good machine, just for my own info...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 With the tool market resale around us, id buy it and flip sell your existing machine if the new pm is in good working shape. The old craftsman 3 foot belt drive joiners go for $200.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 A new 6" powermatic is pretty expensive. If you cleaned it up, and didnt want it, its an easy resell at profit. I just bought a new PM jointer, and I would buy that one too if it were here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
