This jointer is located at the boat shop I work in. This is a great machine. I last used it to joint the edge of what would become the varnished bunk fronts for the lobsterboat we are building. I usually choose it over the 8" Powermatic we also have in the shop. I'll see if I can find a little more history about these individual machines we have in the shop.
