Good evening ladies & gents
Just wondered if any of you folks were interested in adopting a Jointer. It's an old one but good one. Been with me for a few years now but recently I've started to specialise a bit more in Picture Framing (Which is going quite well), and I need the space in my 'undersized' Workshop to make way for a decent underpinner & mitre machine.
Did intend to throw it out, but I just couldn't bring myself to throw out a perfectly good machine, thats given me years of loyal service.
It's probably about twenty years old and was made by a company called Turner & odell www.btinternet.com/~mdashford/maker.jpg
It's a floor standing machine, and weighs a pigging ton! - I have added 4 decent nylon wheels to it, which does mean you can move it around the workshop quite easily www.btinternet.com/~mdashford/jointer.jpg
The bed is about 7" Wide so it's quite versatile www.btinternet.com/~mdashford/bed.jpg
I'm sure that anyone that's used such a machine would agree when I say that this is not an amateur tool ! - it was made in the days before guards, therefore you need treat the machine with a great deal of respect.
It has an 240v induction motor so is very quiet in use, it will run for hours on end, and when the blades are sharp, leaves a cracking finish.
I'm not looking for any payment, so if you can assure me that :-
1. You can provide a good home
2. You have a Van big enough to transport it
3. You don't mind driving to the Scottish Borders (1 Hour south of Edinburgh) (1 and a half hour north of Newcastle on Tyne)
It's yours !
I'm on holiday from my full time job for the next 10 days so please get in touch a bit quick ! As I'll have 10 glorious days in the workshop
Regards
Martin
