I purchased this from a friend who was selling it for another person. It was completely taken apart when I got it and it took a while to figure out how to put it back together. The jointer itself has no model numbers, serial numbers, brand names, or anything else to identify it. The motor and stand has Powrkraft name plates on it and the last owner was pretty sure it was purchased at Montgomery Wards so I'll file it here and change it if I find out later it's wrong. It's a 3 blade 6" jointer and the combined table length is about 42". I've found a couple old delta and rockwell part diagrams that closely match it but nothing exact yet. It works very well and with a new link belt and pulleys runs very smooth. The guard was mia and the three little screws that would attach the guard assembly into the hole in the casting are snapped off and still in the threaded holes. The table height adjustment handles on both infeed and outfeed are also missing. The guard on it is of the quick and dirty shop built type but works and comes off fast enough when I need to change the blades. The shape is a trace of a guard from a Jet.
