I saw an ad on Craigslist for a Powerline 6” jointer, but I don’t know anything about them. Does this look like a decent deal? -- Richard, Hot Springs, Ar -- Galoot In Training |

My first impresions: With all that, if the guy comes down to say, $150, I’d probably still take a hard look. -- Tsunami Guitars and Custom Woodworking, Cleveland, TN |

$200 seems high to me. Depends on what’s available around your location. Unless they are a very unusual size, after market knives shouldn’t be a problem. That looks like a quite old Taiwan jointer. -- I admit to being an adrenaline junky; fortunately, I'm very easily frightened |

no guard, no dust chute, needs cleaned, and a knock off to boot. around here knife sharpening is around $.50-$1 an inch. I wouldn’t go much more than $100 IMO |

Looks like a HF jointer. $200 is too much for that one IMO. -- Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.... |
