Jesse brought in a Craftsman 4" jointer on 03/16/2016. This tool has been in a barn for a couple decades and will need significant work to be truly operational. However the basic functionality is there - the motor runs and the blades cut.
Usability
The jointer needs a fair bit of work before it can be effectively used:
- Remove rust from bed, with oil + steel wool, then sandpaper from course up to 1000 grit
- Research the fence, figure out how it's supposed to provide rigidity, and fix it
- Replace the belt
Planned improvements
- Build a replacement stand
- Install a hinged motor mount for belt tensioning
- Add a belt guard
- Add a starter switch
