8 Inch Spiral Head Jointer Group Buy

[Steve Pilon]

Makers, 

Who is interested in getting an 8 inch spiral head jointer? This one would be best: http://www.grizzly.com/products/8-Jointer-with-Parallelogram-Beds-and-Spiral-Cutterhead/G0490X

If your interested put your name below here and how much you would be willing to give. The woodshop will pitch in $500, we would sell the existing jointer and pitch in the rest. 

[Chris Hemmerly]

What's wrong with the existing jointer? (And what would you ask for it [$] when selling it?)

[Steve Pilon]

The existing jointer is only 6" wide, the new one would be 8". If you want to do high quality work you have to face join boards, now if you have a wider board you need to rip it dow. With the spiral head blades it makes changing the blades a 2 minute job vs a 3 hour job when there is a nick. 

[Steve Pilon]

I would like to see $300 for the old jointer. Other then the fact that its a straight blade and its only 6 inches there is nothing wrong with it. 

I want to invest in quality machines that the average home shop would not have to attract more skilled wood workers. 

The wood shop would throw in $500, I would personally throw in $500 so then we only need to raise $500 more.

Speaking of investing in quality machines. I saw this 48x48 shopbot router on Craigslist. Im not sure if there is enough demand and/or room for another cnc router but it sounds like a good deal (about half off).

As for the jointer, I'd throw $100 at the machine. I'm still looking for signatures for my membership form.

lemondealc,

Thanks for the donation, I still need to make a group buy wiki page but ill put you down.

As for the Shopbot I just don't see us getting that money together. We do have room for a 4'x4' router in the cnc room, id like to see something with linear bearings if we do go for a 4'x4' one though. 

I can certainly sign for you, I can be there Tuesday if you want. Let me know.

[Chris Hemmerly]

Can you post some specs and pics of the current jointer? I might have an interested party.

-Chris

[Michael Morrison]

I can confirm that the G0490X is a great machine. I've had one for a couple years and love it.

[Dan Jonke]

To reiterate what Steve said, we've got a few group buys going on at the same time, so please make sure to label the money you give me, so I know where to count it towards.

 

If you want to donate in check or cash form, put it in an labeled envelope in the drop box. Checks made payable to "Milwaukee Makerspace"

Bump for more info about existing jointer...

[Steve Pilon]

What kind of info are you looking for about the existing jointer?

[Chris Hemmerly]

Manufacturer, model, width, hp, the normal stuff.. oh yeah, and how much MMS wants for it.

[Steve Pilon]

Chris, here are the details:

https://wiki.milwaukeemakerspace.org/equipment/boicecranejointer

[Steve Pilon]

Just a quick update, the order has been placed however it is back ordered. The expected date that the manufacturer should have it on a boat is August 3rd. 

If you haven't paid yet remember to get your money to the treasurer or myself. If you did pay and noticed that you are marked as non paid on the wiki link contact myself or the treasurer. 

Thanks to all who donated and we will eventually get this jointer in here!!!
