Someone in my town has an aolder 6 inch Jet jointer for 300.00. He says the blades are sharp. That is about the amount I have to spend on one but wanted to know whay you guys thought since I am a newbie.



I bought a like new Delta for $200. Since then I have seen several other for about that price. Unless jointers are simply more expensive in your town...

Price seems a bit high, but price seems to depend on the area. I know if you advertised a 6" open stand Jet for $300 around here it would be gone! I would offer a bit less, maybe $250 and see what happens. Also you did not say which model, open or closed stand, price would depend on the model. Closed stand? Grab it quick!!

Well hard to say because there are a couple models IIRC. However, for $325 (plus shipping) you could get this brand new.

Hi Stryped. It all depends on what model it is. I paid about $600 new for a nice closed base Jet 6" jointer years ago.. If it's that model, $300 is a good price, IMO.

Look on ebay, go to advanced search, and search completed listings for the specific model. That will give you a good idea.

There's some value in buying it now, vs waiting more months, hoping to get a better deal. I don't often see used jointers for sale in my area, and I live in a fairly big metropolitan area.
