I've been keeping an eye out for a decent deal on a jointer and this popped up last night. I got in touch with the seller pretty much immediately after it was listed and picked it up today. It's a Jet JJ-6CSX and everything seems to be in good shape. I'll be picking up a Byrd head for it sooner rather than later.
Now I just need to figure out how to get the thing in to my basement... 🤔
Yup, I did take it off of the base already - I had to do that just to get it in my wagon. I think I'll bolt it some plywood, sled it through my snowy back yard and then slowly slide it down the steps to the basement. 🤷♂️
Thanks, Hairy - I'll keep something like that in mind.
Going for it by yourself?
Yeah, if I can come up with a reasonable plan to do it safely. I've got a fair amount of experience moving heavy-ish/large-ish things by myself, taking advantage of leverage, ramps, sleds, wheelie thingies, etc. I have a little trip out of town, too, so I'll have a couple of weeks to mull it over.
