I purchased this as a project for my small shop. I figured it would match my model 60 Jointer from 1962. I found it online and offered $500 which was accepted by the seller. I could not see it run upon purchasing because they had it disconnected so it was a complete gamble, but it looked complete. Upon tear down it appeared that everything was there. I was ecstatic when the motors fired up as I got further along with it. 7.5hp 3 phase, and it chews through wood like a monster truck through a pile of old cars. New blades, belts, and a couple bearings along with some heavy cleaning and fresh paint and it’s now the centerpiece to my small shop. It didn’t have the grinder motor for the jointing jig so I just left that off for now until I find one. I got the blades set meticulously within a thousandth or so from one another so it cuts pretty well. I’m extremely happy with it so far!
