Comments:
Have owned this jointer for approximately 25 years the last 24 yrs the machine sat in a corner unused.
I guess it's about time for me to build a base for it and put it to use.
If anyone can identify the birth year I'd be in their debt. There is no badging other than the Craftsman badge shown, no serial number, no model number.
The blade guard is pirated from a later jointer, but everything else is original.
After viewing other 6" Craftsman jointers in the photo index I believe this unit to be a 102.05600 manufactured by Walker-Turner for Sears, Roebuck Co.
