16in wide jointer on local Craigs List

That's a little small for Warner.

It is also too spendy for me and an L power, which made some of the ugliest machines of the time.

I understand single phase 240 volt power. I understand three phase power. I do NOT understand two phase power.

How is two phase different from the standard 240 volt single phase that is common in homes today?

Other than the power issue I would show up with $750 cash in one pocket and $250 in the other pocket. "Hey man, this is all that I've got." I can take all the eyes that he can throw at me.

I offered him $750 after asking if it was still for sale.

That figures, it's too far for me. I've been looking for a jointer for years. I thought I found one last weekend. It was a 12" Cresent but the guy wanted $2800.00 for it.

I had to look it up, but it was around in the early 20th century when the tool was likely manufactured.

I can ship my 16" 316 JA Fay & Egan down to you. I can probably find it a ride in the next couple months. Asking price is less then that 12" Crescent.

Those tables can be very tricky/ frustrating to get coplanner ....

Nice jointer..:thumbsup:


B,

I'm partial to Oliver machinery...I admit that . This is one fine jointer that's up for sale. The seller said he did a complete frame off restoration.
