This morning I bought a 6 inch Delta Rockwell jointer at the same tag sale. I did not buy it yesterday because (1) it is heavy and in a basement, and (2) I do not have much use for a jointer. And I can use the one at the museum so do not really need one.

But there is was today and it 20% off from what it was yesterday. Yesterday it was a Whopping $69, so it was about $55 today. Had to take it apart to get it out of the basement. The motor and base was one part, and the fence was another. A guy there carried the main part up the stairs and out to the driveway. I can pick up the main part and carry it, but I am cautious about stairs. Anyway it is home now and the lighter parts are in the basement.

So there it is. An off topic gloat because it is a wood working tool. But the cheapest one on Ebay right now is ten times as much , plus shipping.

I think I could have gotten a 10 foot brake for aluminum. A guy had bought it for right at $100 and was having second thoughts. He asked if I wanted it, but I declined. This morning it was gone.

If you are a wood worker..a 6" jointer is a very handy thing to have.
I have a simple 4" as an attachment on my Wards 10" table saw and use
it regularly for wood work for the sailboat restorations.

Where is it made?

I think it was made in Pittsburg. The illustrated parts list I found on the internet is dated 1985, and there are a bunch of parts on it listed as no longer available.


The serial Number is CO8537. I have not found out when it was made.

A lot of the older Delta stuff made in the US is desirable.
