In the last seconds of the above clip Jeff says: "If you don't have a
pattern shop, don't buy one." So, is a 'pattern makers jointer' ONLY
for _angled_ jointing and is incapable of true 90deg edge jointing?

A pattern makers jointer has a tilting infeed table mechanism (typically
+/-10 deg or so) for the draft needed for casting patterns. When the
table is set at zero draft, it operates just like any other but
obviously to produce such a beast (especially with 16" head/tables)
ain't a-gonna' be cheap. And, of course, it explains the extra
complication of removing the infeed table to ship.

What Jeff is saying is there's no need for the extra expense unless you
have the specific need. That this one happens to be is an extra bonus
for collectable whether Sonny will ever find a use for the feature or not.

I don't and won't do production work. The machine was available, cheap, so I snapped it up. I'll likely rarely use it, except for simply surfacing, no pattern making. I'll likely set it at a permanent minimum cut and leave it at that setting.

I'm leaving now to go get it.

Thanks. Always cautious using the single axle trailer. A flat can flip the trailer. I drove much slower than the traffic.

Took about 2 hours to disassemble some parts, then loaded on the trailer in the hot 80° sun. Secured the 2x10 foot pads to the trailer, then drove out their gate under the Miss. R. bridge (in the shade) to strap down.

I'll probably leave it on trailer until after Easter.

Did you get (maybe it was in earlier data but I don't recall it) a
weight on the beast from Northfield?

Didn't get that info from Jeff, but did via this chart on their website. 1825 lbs.

I thought it might be more than that, even...that's not too bad.

My first thought w/ the PM180 planer to put it back in the back of the
barn where I wanted it was to use the little JD 955 utility tractor that
will (just) go down the driveway and the 3pt bale mover...it couldn't
pick it up. It's a little over 1600 lb and that hydraulic maxes out at
about 1000 at the link I discovered...

Ended up renting a pallet mover because the barn is too low to get
anything any bigger inside...hopefully your shop lets something inside.
