Need some advice from the group. I've been looking for a jointer and came accross a Craigslist add a local laminating company had for some used equipment. They wanted $800 for the lot but after meeting with them they said would take $450. Here's the list:
6" older Powermatic jointer, in good condition, no rust on tables
Jet belt sander - Had a two foot wide table with a miter slot, newest machine of the lot. Had some rust on the table, but looked like only surface rust.
Older Rockwell Drill Press, table was fairly small, fair condition
Small Rockwell band saw, good condition
Ancient Rockwell table saw, good canoe anchor
I'm not really in the market for a large belt sander, and would probably resell it if I buy the lot. They won't sell individual items.
Is this a good deal? I'm not sold on a 6" jointer, I would rather have an 8"(wouldn't we all)
Thoughts?
