I went to Sears the other day and behold laying on the floor of the
clearance area was a Craftsman 6" jointer for $200. I didn't know if SWMBO
woul allow me to buy it so I put it on hold.

Low and Behold SWMBO allowed me to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I got it home and unpacked it it was all there except for the stand and
the motor......

I am making a stand out of scrap 3X3 and the motor cn be acquired for about
$59.00.

$250 for a $379 jointer......

Give Sears a call and tell them the motor was missing. They just might
replace it free of charge. Worth a try anyway.

Always worth a try. I know Delta would do it, and I suspect Sears
would as well. Look at it from their perspective- they've engineered
the product to function a certain way, and if you put the wrong part
in and it doesn't work, it could sour you on the whole line.

P.T.
