Doesn’t matter what the tool is, how big, how much it costs….when it’s your passion (or income) it’s a good thing to get emotional over how you came to acquire it, what it might do for you and respecting its ability to get you further along. Congrats.
That’s a awesome jointer right there! Bet you’re glad you got the 16” too? I up graded to a 12” last year! I was using a 6” and man what a difference! I wanted a 16” but the price was a little more than I wanted to pay! I just found your channel and I also subscribed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that jointer!
I'm so happy with it! I really didn't think I needed the 16 in width I was more after the bed length(99 in) for larger boards. I'm sure there will be a time or two where having that extra capacity will come in handy
You should also be proud of your PATIENCE (something I'm learning, was not born with any lol) saving proceeds from your projects or orders from the business and pouring those proceeds into equipment is how everyone should do it but again takes time i commend you bud awesome buy great video keep it up!!!
@ my Jointer came it was almost perfect out of the box, I don’t really use the digital readout on it. My planer had some issues with the feeders,after a lot of phone calls and attempts, Oliver paid for a third party professional machinist to come , that solved the problem, the digital readout out on the planer is money! I’m very satisfied with both, I have a big work load, and they handle it nicely
Pull 10ga wire direct from the panel to the machine and put a 20amp breaker back in. Should be fine. Also, I hope that’s where you plan to keep the machine post calibration. Once you move it, it will require adjustment again. All this advice was learned the hard way.
Uhhh, not quite. I agree the 10ga wire is necessary, but that 5hp motor needs a 30 amp breaker. They pull about 23amps under load. A 20 amp breaker will trip all day long.
@@MrAmcalabreseThe majority of motors are rated based upon the input power and don’t account for the efficiency. A 5HP motor draws 3.75KW, which is about 15.5 amps under full load. Startup current could be 23A, but that’s only for a couple seconds, which a breaker can easily absorb. Since the motor isn’t starting a pump, but rather spinning a relatively small diameter rod, I’d suspect it’s not hitting 23A. The running current will be no where near 15.5A on a jointer. I just can’t see how you could manually feed it fast enough. On a planer, yes, or with a power feeder, maybe. But hand fed, no way. Installing a 30A breaker is the easy way to ensure it works and what I’d use if I were in an outbuilding. But my equipment is in the basement of my home. So I opted for a more conservative 20A breaker.

Appreciate the wise words! Thanks for watching and commenting. You're absolutely right, It's always exciting getting tools regardless of the price.

Thank you so much for the kind words, it's definitely hard to stay patient!
congratulations! that's a great machine
Thanks I am really enjoying it so far!
Awesome machine
It's a dream to use
I have the same jointer, plus the 20" planer, love Oliver. you didn't talk about my favorite feature, which is the red foot lever "off" switch
I'm loving the foot stop, yes genius and so much safer! How do you like the planer I've been eyeing the 20 in since I got this jointer

Appreciate the kind words
Is that the 12" or 16"; think it looks like 12. Great video. This tool is my next purchase, but I've got to find the space for it.
This is the 16 in x 99"jointer and I love it

Thanks for the advice I don't plan on moving it but I'll be sure to double check things if I do.

Very nice jointer. Can you tell me about your phase converter? Thanks
I don't have a phase convertor this is single phase
Oh ok. I just assumed being such a big jointer it must be 3 phase.
@r.guardia9107 yup it took some digging to find one that wasn't
That looks exactly like my 12" Laguna, except the stop on mine is at knee level instead of foot level
I really love having the foot stop, it's so much more convenient and safe than my previous button
