Does anyone have any experience with this benchtop jointer/planer?
There is one on craigslist I am interested in
Thanks

I had that Jointer many years ago. I sold it when I moved out of my parents and started working on the road for an airline.

I never had any issues with it. Now it is a table top jointer so the beds are not that long. I have used it up to 6' boards but I think that probably pushing it (jointing). As for flattening it worked just fine for 6" wide. Anything more than a foot or two long on it, will require you too secure it down to a bench. If its a good price and you just want to use it for small stuff should be a good tool as long as its in good working order.
