Bridgewood jointer BW6J VS BW6R?

[Roger Rippeon]

Hello!
Can anyone please tell me the difference in these 2 models? I cant find anything online differentiating the two. Thanks! -Roger

Strickly a wild guess. Does one have hand wheels, and other other levers for raising and lowering of the tables

You could try contacting Wilke Machinery even though I don’t think Bridgewood exists anymore.

Good idea. Wilke sold both Bridgewood and Yorkcraft. If they couldn't get parts they'd likely know where to look, knowing the OEMs.
