We've really outdone ourselves with this 6" Anniversary Edition Jointer! A long 60" bed for accurately jointing long stock, a pedestal mounted magnetic switch for motor and operator protection and a spiral cutterhead for silky smooth surfaces on the toughest wood grain make this jointer number one in its class for less than a grand. Indexable carbide inserts stay sharper longer and there's no more trial and error adjustments or jigs required to set the "knives". Simply rotate each insert 90° for a fresh cutting surface and you're back in business. Other features include: precision ground cast iron table; precision gib adjustment on dovetailed ways; steel stand with built-in chip chute; infeed and outfeed tables have handwheels for convenient table height adjustment; heavy-duty cabinet stand; fence system with positive stops at ±45° & 90°. super heavy-duty, center-mounted fence is 4" x 29-1/4" magnetic switch control with indicator light; rabbeting table; free pair of safety push blocks; approximate shipping weight of 280 lbs.
