10" oliver jointer arrived today

[sascha gast]

it arrived in a wooden crate, but i was able to move it from that onto the mobile base by myself. was actually very easy. the finish it leaves on the wood after jointing is unreal, smooth as glass and barely any tearout on quilted maple. awesome.
thank you for helping me decide which jointer to get, i am so glad now i got the oliver, there is NO vibration and it really feels industrial. 10" cutter, 4 knife cutter head, 3hp and an 84" bed should provide fun for years to come

Sasha....that's a major gloat! Nice looking equipment! By the way...where is Oliver equipment sold? Did you buy it through a local dealer or internet?

[sascha gast]

sunhill machinery in seattle, they have a web page. i think it's sunhillmachinery.com.

Very nice and clean looking! 10" is a little bit of an oddball size but gives you just a bit extra over an 8" jointer. :)

i actually wnt to my lumber yard and checked, most pieces around 8-10", 12" slabs demand a premium price. i'm actually happy it came in at 84" long. nice and solid

Congrats on the major gloat. Looks like another aircraft carrier has joined the Creek's fleet.

How on earth did you get it on the mobile base so easily?

uhmmmmm, 2 inches at a time, from the crate directly onto the base. as i always say, better down than up. i just kinda wobbled it there. took about 3 minutes, just layed a few stickers on the base so the jointer wouldn't tilt and then just pulled them out. from there, the 900 pound monster moved super easy into place, kinda like a reall heavy shopping cart.hehehe
:D :D :D :D :D

Very, very nice! :D A worthy gloat, indeed. I can see where a 10"-er would be most useful. You're right about anything over 10" at the sawmills (around here, as well) comand a premium price and still require a lot of flattening & planing. Might as well start with something more manageable. Yup, that's one brute of a jointer! :) Congrats! :cool:

Congrats

[sascha gast]

the dc is actually fine, sucks up every crumb. i just don't have room/need for a cyclone. this is the 1200cfm unit, keeps things good enough. would i like bigger??/uhmmmmmm, yes, but that'll have to do.
