It was probably made in the 1970s or early 1980s. Not a collectible
machine yet, but still a good one to own and use and a bargain
for what you paid.

The labels changed more than the castings over the years – the same
basic jointer was around in the 1960s but the badges were different.

From what info I have found the 37-315 seems to have been made from the late 50’s to the late 70’s.
Loren’s guess is in line with mine….80ish maybe. Maybe the 82 of the ser# was the year. The early 80’s is when Rockwell sold the Delta tool division.
Maybe I have the last one off the assembly line….lol

year doesn’t matter if he’ll use it! he stole it!

the money he saved will almost pay for the hernia operation (those things are heavy)

teejk…...But it came with wheels.. ;) Rolled it up the ramp on my work trailer and rolled it down and out into the shop..Could not ask for anything easier. I would not want to have to lift this beast.

Great find Gary!!
I sold my 8” Jet jointer two years ago for…$700.00 (without wheels) It was 12 years old.
Congratulations on a nice deal.

I’ll echo the “you suck” comment Gary! it looks to be nearly new and has the mobile base (I think that alone is $75 or more). I’ve been looking for one (the 6” is ok but the longer bed would be a dream). great find!

Makes me want to cry. This never happens to me.

To answer your question. I would say that this jointer should be worth $450-$750 depending on the market in your area.
Congrats on a super buy.
