Many thanks for all that has replied. On reading the replies I have
decided to black list the Harbor Freight jointer. My original gut
feelings was the same as most of the repliers. Some suggested a band
saw, I have been using a band saw. However it is very slow and harder
to use than a jointer. I also have other needs for the jointer.

Again many thanks for all of the replies.

Everett

I know that Harbor Freight is considered at ground zero for most if
not all of there power tools, and most everything else. However I was
wondering about the 6" jointer. They are on sale at the local Harbor
freight for $ 199 minus 15%. This sounds like an amazing price. At
present I need a jointer for truing up square wood for turning 34 "
legs for Islands. Would appreciate any help in making the decision to
buy it. What I really want is a good used jointer, but have not found
anything suitable in my four month search.

Thanks in advance
