Comments:
This Colladay Machine Wrks 16" Jointer is in good shape, it needs a new motor and I may have one that will work. It is estimated to weigh about 1,000 pounds and has a 16" blade. There is information on this site about Joseph Colladay and the machinery he sold. "Joseph O. Colladay began manufacturing woodworking and iron-working machinery in 1867; he operated under his own name. At some point the name became Jos. O. Colladay & Bros. (There appears to have been a time during which both names were used.) By 1919 the name had changed to Jos. O. Colladay Co., Inc. In that year the business was purchased by Lawrence C. Power, who changed the name to Colladay Machine Works. That is the name on this jointer, therefore it was more than likely made in 1919 or sometime after.
It has very light surface rust from sitting in the garage for years. The length is 7'3", width of table is 1'6", overall width 3', height 3'6". Email me for questions. No shipping. Local pickup only. Thank you!
