Hi,
I am new to the forum. I am setting up a shop in my garage and have learned a lot here the past few days. I had been planning to get a bench top jointer, but found a old Powermatic 50 on Craigslist today that I picked up for $100.00. It seems to be in good shape. The tables are both flat and the fence is straight and the knives look they are in good shape. Other than giving it a good cleaning what should be done before I put it in service? I downloaded the owners manual which goes over all adjustments. I plan to go through the machine using the manual to familiarize my self with it. I also got a Delta dust collector. Both pieces totaled $200.00.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
