Old Power Tools #1: Antique Sears Craftsman Jointer

Looks like it,s built like a tank. I love the “chevy belair” style cast script on the side.

Gary, Nice vintage jointer and I also like the custom stand. What model # jointer is that? I also have a “few” vintage machines in my shop and I prefer using them over something that is new. Always lookting to increase my heard of tools.

Great example of a time when they made stuff to last forever. I, too, love old tools. -SST

I love the older tools like that

That’s a very pretty machine, Gary!

I love older tools as well, They Just Don’t Build Them Like They Used To. My planer is a Craftsman branded Foley-Belsaw model 910 that I found on Craigslist. It is ROCK solid. As an example of this, I made the mistake of trying to move it to the basement by myself. A few steps down my grip slipped and it went tumbling end over end. The only thing that was damaged was one of the 1/4” brackets for the flip-up cover!

Sweet find! Did a great job on the stand.
