Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

Ninong, that's available in any grocery. I have bought some in Cash & Carry sometime ago. That is very cheap compared to the chemicals that you use.

Thanks Jarod . Will pass by Cash and Carry then.

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

Hi owyn..how's the rehab of this jointer.Is it working na?...Someone from the US offered me to ship used 8" Craftman jointer for US$750, excluding shipping cost pa.

I' rather go [COLOR="Blue"]Matthias Wandel's way.

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

^What's the Wandell way?

===
Old machinery prices are funny. Sometimes they cost next to nothing, sometimes the prices are fair, and sometimes the seller thinks he's got a super duper ultra rare object that should cost more than a car. I got a DP for free (though a new motor and bearings totaled to 7K, couldn't resist so i bought another keyless chuck for it too.) I got the powermatic bandsaw for about 700$...

As per advise of owwm, it's all about the condition of the machine sir -after acquiring four machines i now realize the wisdom of their experience.

===
For now the craftsman 6" jointer is lacking a motor (haven't pulled the trigger on buying one yet.) Table flatness was barely within spec but who knows if it'll make "joint"-ready faces which will pass the candlelight-test. If it doesn't, i'll still keep it- let it do the coarse-medium part of milling so i don't have to do grunt work, leaving me with just final passes from a plane. I'd consider it as an upside-down "hand planer" =).

Bro Armand,

Here's a list of some GI SHEETS and STAINLESS SHEETS with their corresponding gauges and prices. Prices may differ in your area, you can just use this as price reference.

FOR GI SHEETS : 4 X 8 one whole sheet

Gauge 15 ---------- Php. 1,700.00
" 16 ----------Php 1,400.00
" 18 --1.1---- Php 1,300.00
--1.0--- Php 1,050.00
" 20 --------- Php 980.00
" 22 --------- Php 800.00
" 24 --------- Php 600.00

FOR STAINLESS SHEETS : 4 X 8 one whole sheet

Gauge 15 ---------- Php 4,900.00
" 16 --------- Php 4,200.00
" 18 --------- Php 3,200.00
" 20 --------- Php 2,850.00
" 22 --------- Php 2800.00

Bro I hope this will be of help to you when the time comes that you decide to make a DIY jointer for yourself similar to Matthias Wandel's make, with these prices you can compare them in hardware stores in your place.

By the way this hardware also sells half sheets, you just divide the stated price in two. Its the smallest size that they sell. :p 🙂

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

Thanks a lot Rosy..i'll proceed with the homemade 12" jointer once the current project is done. I already have the plan similar to Wandel's but different cutting depth mechanism.

here's the sketchup i made last night:

I'll be using pillowblocks on the actual build and screw tail vise for the adjustment. Four springs attached to the infeed table and to the main body will give downward push and add stability.

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

Bro Armand,

WOW, finally you have the design already and really going to push thru with the jointer project ha !!!!!

Yes a pillow block is a good choice, just get the ones made in Japan, though a little expensive. Where will the pillow block be attached or mounted ?, on the wooden frame or on a welded angular frame ?

Bro, can you please make it a step by step procedure too so that I can follow the build, I want to make one too patterned from your sketch, hope that's ok with you.

THANKS BRO in advance. !!!!!

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

on the yakal wood frame..meron nako source ng reclaimed woods better than policarpio. Malanday Enterprises, its in Tayuman Binangonan.

better = cheaper?

More than a month ago I inquired at Policarpio and their price is 70/bdft if I remember correctly.
Planing fee is 15/bdft.

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

oh a DIY jointer... I've been to a couple of sash factories where they don't have a TS, but they have a cutterhead-on- pillowblocks jointers. They tend to have molave beds.

It must be common stuff because ARQ in t.alonzo and LYS have cutterheads (just cutterheads) for sale.

Katakot para sakin.

I wouldn't recommend this, i really wouldn't but it just flashed through my mind after seeing BIG, macho 6", 8" makita hand planers. What if i could just drop it in some sort sturdy table to extend its infeed and outfeed. I wouldn't have to deal with mounting bearings, cutterheads and motor- and how those component interplay- i'll have makita quality in that assembly. (The made-in-japan 8" incher costs 20K though, egad!)

p42/bdft. The thing is they don't re-saw the woods into desired size. No planer too. But they have plenty of 2xs yakal there.

yes its a DIY jointer with cutter head cover similar to [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Matthias'.

I saw the 8" cutter head at ARQ and it costs p5.5k including the blades and pillowblocks, wala pa motor. The diameter was big, with 3 blades, that size will require a 3HP induction motor. The John Bensen at 16k was ok na sana but being 6" is to small for me.

I'm in a hurry to have one for the ordered jewelry boxes kasi, in time for xmas giveaways.

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

...it costs p5.5k including the blades and pillowblocks, wala pa motor...

How will the motor be connected to this? Is there a protrusion for a pulley of some sort?

Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.

The shaft is built-in to the cutterhead with protrusion for pillowblocks and the pulley. The 6" cutterhead is 4.9k all-in except for the motor.

The Ryobi AP13AK is p6.5K, 12.5" with 2000w 60hz motor.
