Here is a rather odd mix of parts. What you see is one of the last Rockwell labeled jointers sitting on one of the oldest versions of a Delta Milwaukee #667 cast iron base. I purchased this from a gentleman in Columbus, Ohio who had listed it on ebay. I live about 2 1/2 hours from Columbus but have an uncle who lives there. He graciously retrieved it for me and brought to our family gathering at Christmas.
I have only added a #132 Switch box, new 12 gauge wiring, and a linkbelt. It has a 1/2 hp Delta repulsion induction motor for power. The link belt has only minimal clearance at the top guard so I will probably replace it with a standard v-belt.
I am a little conflicted as what to with this jointer. Having just purchased a restored 8" 37-301 on a cast stand, this jointer seems redundant.
