Acquired at a private sale in Akron,Ohio.The jointer came from the Firestone Tire Co.
then it has spent its last six to nine years with two different owners who wanted to restore and use it but never did.It has a four knife round cutter head with ball bearings,direct drive,5 h.p.,220/440 volt,3 phase motor.The infeed table is 21" by 48" and the outfeed table is 24" by 48" with a 3" rabbiting snelf.The fence is 5 1/2" tall by 60" long that tilts up to 45 degrees.The jointer is complete and has no broken castings.I will spend a couple of days cleaning and painting this jointer and return it
to its glory making wood chips again.The jointer came with its blade guard but it didn't make it into the pictures yet.
