    Bought an older 12" Minimax jointer today, any one used one? [link]

    http: //nmi.craigslist.org/tls/4390785164.html

    Bought this today sight unseen. Love all my SCMI stuff but have never seen one of these. I don't think I am ever going to be able to afford the F1 I want so this will have to do. I'll sell my PM6" and my DJ20 and should come out about even.

    If you have used one let me know what you thought. Kinda like closing the gate after the cows are out but.........

    That looks very nice! It sure appears to be in great condition.

    Looks a lot like the 12" SCMI's at my last job, minus the blanchard ground tables on the SCMI's. I can tell you if it were near me it would be in my shop presently. Nice score.

    Wow that looks like a beautiful machine. If it works half as good as it looks I'm sure it will be awesome.

    That looks a lot like the machine that Joe Jensen has .. I think his was a Rockwell imported from SCMI ..

    Michigan must really be the place for deals! Is the economy so bad everyone is selling?

    Larry, it would be useful in the future to post the photo here rather than paste a link to a page that no longer exists. This way those of us that are late to the parade can see the photos.

    I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
