Comments:
Older Yates-American 8" jointer I sold recently. After cleaning it up and installing sharp blades I must say I'm impressed with it. It runs smooth as silk. Not nearly as heavy as most Yates offerings, but stoutly built. Nice Deco design on the base also. It's three phase direct drive. Unique design for the fence tilting operation.
