Everyone who thinks I got a good deal on the Powermatic 66, take a look at this: CLICK.<\/a> That’s an old Walker-Turner cabinet saw, for $195. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n

I don’t know much about Walker-Turner, but I’ve heard about their tools, and I haven’t seen any critical remarks, except that their table saws are on the underpowered side. But that’s what new motors are for.<\/p>\n

There is also an ad for a “commercial” Powermatic table saw in Hialeah, for $200. I hope it’s a pile of rust!<\/p>\n

I read a little bit about planers and jointers yesterday. I drew two conclusions. First, if you can’t have both, a planer is better than a jointer. Second, sooner or later, you will need an 8″ jointer.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of weird. The most popular size for a jointer is 6″, but I am told that most of the lumber you will want to mill with it will be about 7″ wide. I don’t know much about the way jointers work; maybe you can take a 7″ board and run it through a 6″ jointer twice, to get the whole thing done.<\/p>\n

People are telling me the old Delta jointer I pointed out yesterday is probably a good buy. It’s something to think about. I linked to a giant Powermatic as a joke,\u00a0 but I can’t see buying one, unless I find it within a block, and the owner is willing to help me wheel it over here. And it would take up a whole lot of room. The Delta looks small enough to hide by a garage wall.<\/p>\n

Doug Stowe says he uses a combination jointer and planer, to save room.<\/p>\n

Maybe someone in my area will retire and sell one cheap!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
