I found this small jointer on ebay and luckily the guy lived only 23 miles from me so I saved 50 bucks shipping by picking it up! It's a Shop Fox,the one Steve S has.Thanks Steve! I put it together and after a few minor adjustments, It's working great.I love the heavy cast iron fence and impeller(blower) that clears all the chips.So far,So good! Thanks for all your help guys!

That's THE one I found as well. It's made by a company called Palmgren, and it works like a dream. It literally made my edges perfectly flat...confirmed by my granite plate. Nice score!

Dave,
I'm glad you like it. Shop Fox has great customer service if you need anything from them. I broke one of the screws that adjusts the blade height. The local dealer couldn't seem to get one for me. After several weeks, I called Shop Fox and had them in 2 days.
