This was my first piece of vintage machinery to refurbish and I think I picked an excellent machine to start on! The Powermatic Model 50 is very solid and well made. I purchased this unit on Craigslist and now am looking for a matching base as the one that came with the jointer was a diy type table. The rust was extensive on the table with some noticeable pitting. However, steel wool, wd-40, and a few applications of naval jelly took it all off. It'll never be a perfect surface, but it definitely looks better and feels smooth under hand. I changed the bearings, repainted everything with automotive primer and charcoal gray & cherry red Rustoleum paint. Enjoy the before and after photos!
