Harbor Freight Jointer
Does anyone have any experience with either the Harbor Freight 30289 or
45253 6" Jointers? The are now priced 259 and 260 respectively. There is a store about 60 miles from me and I'll make the drive to take a look in person if anyone can give some positive feedback. Thanks. |

Harbor Freight Jointer
Hi, about a year ago I bought a new Yorkcraft 6" jointer from Wilke
Machinery, I love it, no problems what so ever. www.wilkemach.com It's priced at $299 + shipping. Tony teknoid wrote in message ...

I have a HF near me so I have taken a good look at these jointers. I was not real impressed, but for the money they probably are ok. The fence is poor compared to a Jet, Delta, or Griz. Some have said the fence was no big deal because you most likely will set it at 90 degrees and leave it there. Greg |

I have no experience with HF's jointer but my biggest concern would be the
quality of the knives. It'[s ben my experience with HF edged tools that the quality of the metal is suspect and doesn't hold an edge well. Maybe someone knows if the blades can be replaced by better ones. Vic "teknoid" wrote in message ... Does anyone have any experience with either the Harbor Freight 30289 or 45253 6" Jointers?
