Hi everyone,
After my motor went out on my 6 inch 1980's import jointer, I took it as a sign to upgrade. I came across a 8 inch Delta Rockwell jointer (with a peace sign logo) for sale ~1 hr from me. I've heard that the peace sign logo indicated an era for Delta Rockwell where quality dropped a bit. However, the machine is listed at $450, for an 8 inch jointer, which seems pretty decent, even with surface rust it has going on.
I'd love to hear general thoughts on Delta Rockwell jointers with the peace sign logo + If I'm correct in my assessment that $450 is a pretty decent price. It does appear to be coming from a ship building shop, so it may have seen some pretty decent use. Anything specific I should look out for? See the link below:
