Acquiring new tools #4: Not new, but a 12" Kity Jointer

« Part 3: Grizzly Drill Press Part 4 of Acquiring new tools series no next part

This is the one I asked about a week or so ago. Finally got some pictures of it last night.

12” blades, over 5’ long table. This thing runs great and pretty quiet. It is very heavy and appears to be well made. Normally this model would have a 12” planer underneath the jointer (like a Laguna) but this was ordered with out the planer. Most of the parts are there to get the planer working. The only thing missing that I can see is the chain/belt system that powers the rollers. Hopefully I can get a book from Kity and figure out how to get it working too.

Enjoy the pics. Hopefully someday I’ll actually get to use some of my new toys and post some projects for you all.

I am also looking for a fence idea and some type of blade guard. I forgot to mention that, but neither was included.

Yeah, it is a big boy. I just couldn’t pass it up for under $200.

It’ll work great for flattening one side before planing I think.

I’d love to hear from someone else that has this type of jointer. I need some pictures and/or advice on how to complete the planer part and the fence.

Whay a monster it looks threatning the way it is now. How hard is going to be to make it whole?

It is operational for what i wanted it for right now. Flattening one side of a wide board.

To make the jointer part whole I need a fence and blade guard.
To make the planer whole I need the correct pulleys/chains/belts to power the feed rollers.
