Yorkcraft YC-8J Jointer???
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). http://www.wilkemach.com/OnlineCatal...tail=309904 8 02353153&PreviousCategory=Jointers Joey in Chesapeake |

Yorkcraft YC-8J Jointer???
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. "Tony" wrote in message ...

Yorkcraft YC-8J Jointer???
Joseph -
I have a yorkcraft 6" Jointer and I'm very happy with it. I've had it for almost a year. I'm very impressed with Wilke and their quality for the price. I called last week to order a 17" Bridgewood bandsaw from them but it's out of stock until May. It weighs 300 lbs and the quoted shipping charge was $95 and I'm in Northern Michigan. I would guess that you would be very pleased with that Jointer. If I recall correctly the shipping cost on my Jointer was under $100. Jswee Curmudgeon in Training |
