Jet JJ6CSX Manufactured 2011

If it is truly in great shape as claimed, yes, this is a good deal in my view. Those Jet’s really purr nicely and have very little vibration when they run. Be sure that this one runs smoothly as it should. Bring a good straight edge and check to be sure that the beds and fence are dead flat, and that the fence can be squared evenly from infeed to outfeed.

Depends on your idea of a ‘good deal’. My limit is about $100 for a jointer – yours may be different. If one doesn’t come in at or under my limit, I’ll keep waiting for one that does (and one always does eventually).

For the one in question – I’d maybe go $75, and probably not even that high – but that’s me… I generally stay away from the asian clones and would rather wait for a nice vintage US made machine to pop up. Why buy a copy when you can have the original :)

Cheers,

It is really in good shape. Nice guy. Worked on it for a while it ran great. Offered $300 and got it. Thanks for the replies!

That’s a great deal! Congrats on an awesome jointer. You’re going to love that machine. I had an older version of this and it was one of the sweetest running tools I’ve ever owned.

Thanks guys! After cleaning and setting it up it’s working nice. I appreciate your comments. Hopefully I can post a cypress coffee table shortly.

Nice deal. I’m envious. Some people have all the luck :-)
