Loma Tools IS Geetech, Sunhill, Grizzly etc. Direct drop in replacements for cheap.

Thanks for the link to Loma tools. I just bought a Geetech ct-150 long bed jointer from them for $250 boy is it great super quality and what a price. Geetech is the company that builds JET, Powermatic, General, and Oliver Jointer. They had a lot of other tools and accessories I’m looking at.

I have been somewhat leery of Lomatools because

A. Never heard of them.
B. Flaky / amateurish web site.
C. No BBB entry.

I will wait until at least C is fixed before I think of giving them money…

I picked it up at their warehouse I was able to see the product and touch it. I think they bought over stock and discontinued item.

Thanks for the heads up….always good to know.

$550 for that 8” jointer is a nice deal….even $670 shipped isn’t bad.

Yup, I was weary as well. Didn’t even cross my mind to check BBB. The guy from Sunhill passed away and his son sold the company to Loma. At least that’s what I hear. It’s in the same building as Oliver. Did anyone get at look at that place?

I don’t know about the Sunhill stuff but it is in the same warehouse as Oliver. They were knowledgeable and good to deal with. The Oliver machines are heavy duty machines that I didn’t need but were nice to look at.

I know this is an old post, but I’m seriously thinking about getting their 6×56” jointer. 250 dollars for a long bed 6 inch sounds pretty freaking awesome!

The Sunhill 56” jointer is essentially the same as a former Griz G1182 with some extensions added for additional length. It’s a very well proven design….Jet, GI, Woodtek, Bridgewood, etc.

I spent many years in upper management positions in the industry with Rockwell, Delta, Jet, and Powermatic and know Geetech as a supplier, and Oliver and Sunhill and Loma as distributors. Sunhill is no longer in business and I personally know the management and staff at Oliver and Loma very well. They are a very knowledgeable and dedicated group that is highly focused at serving the customer. The jointers in discussion are high quality old stock that were built by Geetech for Sunhill, when this stock is gone it will be gone, if you miss this deal you’l be sorry.
