Ridgid HD Jointer

If you are aiming at buying a 6in Jointer then BUY USED. There are literally dozens (hundreds?) to be found locally because so many upgrade from 6in to either 8in or larger. Check Craig’s List. If you insist on new, buy at least an 8in, IMO.

FWIW, I found my then 2yr old Grizzly G0593 on CL and saved ~$350.

A good used Griz 1182, Jet, Delta, Sunhill, PM54, Ridgid would also fit the bil if you can find one. If you post your general geographic location another LJ member might have some leads for you.

Guess I should fill out my profile. I’m in Atlanta – If anybody knows of a decent jointer for sale

If you have or can get 220 to it, I am with the others to hold out for used. Preferrably 8” or larger, if possible.

I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be able to find something on Craigslist. Look for old delta six inch jointer. The older the better. You should EASILY find what you are looking for with that budget. I bought a Rigid jointer used about five years ago for $200.00. I have been happy with it, but I would rather have something bigger. If you can’t find it on CL, I don’t think you are looking hard enough…

I have a Craftsman Jointer that is a a clone of the Grizz G0654. Back in the day I got my jointer for $344 out the door. Pics on my website. I’ve seen “my” jointer on CL many times for $250. Any comparable jointer, 6inch C-man, Grizz, Ridgid for 250 would be a great deal and can be found in a huge area like Hotlanta..

For used I’ve been mainly looking for 8” because I knew I couldn’t afford one brand new. When I find used ones they’re either bench top (I was looking for a decently long bed) or look a little expensive. Am I wrong? Is 300 a good price for a Delta JT160?

No! The Delta JT160 should sell for $150. The Jet in the first ad Mike posted was the gem of the lot.
