Re: Craftsman Jointer Rehab.
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.
Once in a while we get lucky. Look what i got for 10k......
It's a 12" Japanese unit and powered by an old 5hp Mindong single phase motor.:bravo:
