My father purchased this tiny machine at a home supply / hardware store in Truro N.S. (Canada) in 1972 or 73. It was used in my fathers basement workshop for many years and was the first jointer that I ever used. Despite its small size an amazing number of projects were completed over the years using this little machine. It came into my possession in the early 1990s when my father upgraded to a 6" machine. Even though I now have an 8" general in my shop I still use this little machine for rabbit cuts and other small or special jobs. Surprisingly this machine has not required any maintenance other than the occasional knife swap since the day it was new.
