No rust though. Actually someone else paid that. I had lent them a jointer (Grizzly) a couple years earlier, and instead of breaking it down, they replaced it with the Jet.

Fair price as long as the infeed table moves up and down and the fence moves back and forth. The rust looks cosmetic only.

Jeff, that is the kind of deal I jump on. That is very light rust that will clean up easily. Only 30 miles away ! Get over there and look at it and take the cash with you.

You should be on that deal like stink on a monkey. I've been watching a Jet 6" open frame jointer on a local online auction, it's at $350 right now and there's 8 days left on the auction.
