I bought this model 280 jointer in Sudbury for $800 in 2016. It was for the most part complete but in poor shap overall. I tore it down, sandblasted and painted everything. While it was apart I replaced all the bearings, belts, seals, motor, switch, and blades. It now has a single phase 120 volt 3hp motor. I made a new guard from beech and inlaid solid brass bar around the bottom to prevent wear. I matched the paint close to the original colour. It has a badge from A R Williams machinery, I’m guessing that is where it was purchased originally. The machine gets used daily and works beautifully. I am really glad I took the time to rebuild this machine instead of buying a new off shore junker.
