Hi
I am thinking of buying a used smci f41 16" jointer located several states away. The price is very good so I'm willing to take a chance on the thing.
My problem is
Cant really find a weight on the beast.
Anyone know how hard it would be to remove the tables on a parallelogram type jointer?
It's a three phase, any idea if a static type converter would work on a 6hp 3 phase? Or how hard it would be to find and replace the motor with around a 4- 5 hp single phase? Standard motor bases on Smci tools? I have traded motors from 3 to single phase on my table saw and Planer, they had standard size bases so not much of a problem.
I looked at the Smci site for it and the manual is not the best, thats being generous.
I have a trailer that will take 1000 lbs and can puts parts in the back of my 1/2 ton truck so I can move quite a bit of total weight if parts can be be spread around some. And much easier to put into my shop if parts are off to lighten it up around between truck and trailer.
Any help or ideas??
