Even though I have a Rockwell 6" jointer, I found this one locally for a very low price as the fence assembly had taken a fall when the PO had moved it, suffering multiple breaks (see photos). Motor and working end of the machine work well so with some repairs and a little bit of luck on BOYD, I hope to someday make this well respected jointer a great bargain.

Update 3/29/20: Late 2018, I found a complete fence from a newer PM 8" PM jointer through an OWWM member and finally took the time to fit it up. Perfect fit and now I'm in business. The mismatched paint scheme isn't the prettiest thing but it works!
