Purchased this Rockwell/Delta 37-220 6" Jointer from an individual in Shelburn Indiana. It had sat for years in an old building but it was covered and in decent condition. It was in 100% original condition including the original Rockwell motor. It is now restored and is going to a great machine for another 50+ years. This model has several features I really like including the long fence with quick adjustment design. I also really like the brass parts used throughout the machine. I did not want to paint the brass parts like they were when I bought it. Instead I decided to polish the brass parts and clear coat them to prevent oxidation. I think the final result is pretty cool looking. Please feel free to let me know if there are any questions about the restoration process. I also have a ton more photos of the process that I can share if anyone is interested. Thanks!
