I am looking to buy an 8-inch cast iron jointer to upgrade my home workshop.
I am open to machines in almost any condition—whether it’s a dusty garage find, a machine needing a full teardown and rust restoration, or a unit missing its motor entirely. If you have an old industrial or vintage jointer sitting in the corner of your shop gathering dust, I’d love to take it off your hands and give it a second life.
What I’m Looking For:
Size: 8-inch width capacity or larger.
Condition: Anything from "plug-and-play" to "needs a complete restoration." Rust, old paint, or frozen bearings are not a problem.
Age: I am open to any age and any vintage—new, old, or anywhere in between.
Models of Particular Interest (but open to others):
Delta / Rockwell: DJ-20, 37-315, 37-350, or vintage "long bed" models
Powermatic: Model 60, PJ882
Grizzly: G1018, G0490, G0586
Other Quality Brands: Jet, Oliver, Bridgewood, General, Shop Fox
Logistics:
I am located in the Southern Oregon area. For the right machine, I am highly motivated, have the means to transport heavy equipment, and am willing to travel a reasonable distance or meet you halfway.
Please send me a message with a few details, your asking price, and a couple of photos of the machine.
Thank you!
