The YC-8J comes wired 220V. With a mobile base, the shipping weight is 487.
Cost to ship to my zip is about $83.25 ($111 less 25% freight discount valid
until March 20th).
They are expecting the machines to be in stock in March.

Hi Joey, I have the Yorkcraft 6" jointer, I love it......

And I'm still bitching about the freight charges.
You are from TN and I'm from KC and I pay $240 for two machines!

The SWMBO has authorized me (when Uncle Sam returns my money)
to get a new jointer. I had been looking at the Delta 37-195 6" but
I
wanted
a longer table length. Then I looked at Sunhill's 6" with a 52"
table
length
but Sunhill can't get any in stock to their distributors until AT
LEAST
the
May timeframe. Then I stumbled onto Wilke Machinery Company who
make Bridgewood and Yorkcraft products. They have their YC-8J, 8",
72" table length jointer on sale from $795.00 to $599.00 and until
March
20
they are taking 25% of their shipping costs. Anyone ever use
Yorkcraft?
It is a helluva a deal on an 8" jointer and I know I can't expect it
to
be
as
good as a DJ-20 (which I'll never be able to afford); but for a
hobbyist
who is looking to square a face on long boards for planing as well as
joint
an edge, is this a reliable machine? Any inputs will be appreciated
(inputs
about the jointer that is).
