Yep, it's about time for something with a long bed. The old C'man is fine, but just too short. 6" is plenty wide, but the bed bed must be long (66"). Being frugal, I'd like to find something used, somewhere near central NC. Does anyone now of one available? Wilson
Jointer Wanted

How about the finest 6" jointer ever made: the Delta DJ15? I have one for sale with an HTC mobile base. It was new for me in '92 (age doesn't really matter with these babies) and is in excellent shape.
It was going to be my jointer-for-life and there is nothing wrong with it except I happened across a deal on a DJ20 that I couldn't pass up. I'm looking for $700 for it, and if that seems like a lot, ask around about the DJ series (15, 20, 30). It sold for around $1100 new (in
1980's dollars + about $100 for the mobile base). Unparalleled design. No one's (including Delta) 6" jointer today even comes close.I can have it in the Charlotte area upon conclusion of discussion. Do the obvious with my email addy to reach me.

I'd want a jointer with a paralleled design. -- Igor
Given that the series was renowned for its parallelogram design, perhaps I should have spread my hyperbole elsewhere.

Hey, we'll have none of that around here. This is a family show. Oh wait, I forgot, we chased out those %&*$ers. As you were. -- Igor
Man, I wish you were in Indy. I'd love a DJ-15, and would provide a good home for it, I can assure you.
