Jointer
I am looking to upgrade my jointer and having been married to a
"Downeaster Scott" for 41 years, am looking for the biggest bang for the buck. I came across a CT-60L Sunhill 6" x 52" Long Bed Jointer with Spiral Knife Cutterhead For $515.00 + $114.49 s/h at Amazon.com What do you know of the Sunhill equipment? Thanks Deb |

Don't waste your time with Sunhill. They'll promise you shipment in X
weeks where X usually equals 2 or 3 only to requote you another X weeks after that time has expired. I came to wonder whether or not they actually sell machinery or just have an internet store as a front for something else..... Ok, well, people actually do own Sunhill machinery, so that's not the case. Those that do have seemingly been happy. But feedback is fairly limited. |

Check out the Yorkcraft 6" jointer sold by Wilke machines. It sells for aroung $339.oo. I've had one for about a year and love it, the best value in my shop. Do a google search for it in this group and you will see that others feel the same way (that's what I did before I bought mine). By the way, the machine is the same as the Delta 6" model: I mean literally the same, made in the same factory and everything.

Watch the local city papers, there was just an 8" jet in mine for
$450.00. I picked up a 8" craftsman profession never assembled for $405 off ebay and had a couple of work associates pick it up, hold it for a trucking friend, and bring it to my town for nothing. Alan |

I also have the Yorkcraft 6". Father's day gift. I just put it
together but still need to align it. Fit and finish is good. Doug, I thought you were joking about being the same as the Delta. YOU ARE RIGHT. I pulled up the Delta manual and even the some of the pictures are the same. The Delta manual appears to have a better push stick plan though. The price was as Doug said $339. I am about an hour from York, PA so I drove up and picked mine up. (I didn't really pick it up, its about 280lbs.). As I said, I haven't used it yet, but through the assembly I think I got a good deal. David |
