I really thought when I found my 604 for $5 , it was a once in a lifetime ordeal. That was only last year fyi.
Well there was a little sale happening in south Brooklyn near Brighton beach so decided to stroll down as I saw they had a Hammond Trim o saw listed. Got that for $150. For another $150 I got two no4s, a knuckle cap block plane, woodie jack plane, no3 in decent shape, no5 in bad shape, and this beautiful 608. Japaning like 85%. Sharpened the iron and already lightyears beyond my current jointer. The mass is so significant.
