That was me.

That was not the only problem.... the motor never worked... I eventually
ended up using a spare from an old table saw.

Stay away from the HF/CM machines.

Central Machinery (Harbor Freight) 31849-5VGA 7" INDUSTRIAL RABBETING
JOINTER
WITH STAND ($219) (OK, I know this is 7" rather than 6" but it's still
in
my
price range)

There was mention of this one last week. The owner could not get good 7"
blades and is using another brand of 6".

Nothing from Harbor Freight impresses me.
