Craftsman Jointer - fishhh4 - 01-07-2018
I am thinking King Seeley made . My question is ....The outfeed adjustable on this one ? Worth 125.00 ? I have a 12 inch jointer ...I just want a six for some reason .
I will refurb it . I will probably offer 125 .

I wouldn't offer over $50. Tho to be honest, none of those old craftman 6" were any good.

Late 50's early 60's from what I can gather over at the vintage site . Thought it would be cool to refurb . Shine up that aluminum .

Not sure why JimV says the jointer is no good, but that is a nice jointer - heavy and well made.
The outfeed table is adjustable by using 3 table leveling screws, which I believe allows the outfeed table to be adjusted planar to the infeed table across both the length and the width.
I would say it would be worth $125

That looks like the Craftsman jointer with the fixed out feed bed. I have not had personal experience with them but I have read that setting the height of the blades is more fiddly with those than with ones where the out feed is adjustable.
It would be a nice restore project though.

As Greg pointed out they are adjustable .

Did you own one ?
RE: Craftsman Jointer - Stwood_ - 01-08-2018
Golden Oldie.
Mine was a newer model. Castings were pretty heavy back then.
That would be handy for smaller stock.

We had one in a cabinet shop I worked in many moons ago. Never had to adjust it other than moving the fence to spread the cutter wear, but it worked fine. Looks like the one in the ad has an 1800 rpm motor (large motor sheave), not that it matters (it doesn't).
It would be a step up from my vintage 4" Delta, which was new when I bought it (sad that it's now 'vintage'
).I wouldn't go over $125 if it's all there, and try for $100. But that depends also on how badly you want/need it, and what sort of market there is in your area for used machines.
