- Hi, Thanks for Hanging Out,
In this video I show you the process I went through to restore this 6 Inch Jointer/Planer back to perfect working order. It was a lot dirtier and rusty than I first thought when I picked it up, which made the transformation that much more spectacular and well worth the effort.
I hope you enjoyed the video and perhaps got something out of it too. As always, please feel free to leave any questions or comments you may have and thanks for watching.

Loved that you documented the restoration. I just restored at 6 inch jointer from the 1950’s. However, I had to mute the sound because of the music.
Hi Mike, thanks for watching I'm glad you liked the restoration, thanks for the feedback on the music too, cheers!
Less music the better it is.
I agree. Good video but the techno music was just too much. Had to mute it so I may have missed some cool info.
Was great...but the music, over and over, and it was very distracting and loud. Found myself rurning it up then down when music started, finally muted and read close captions
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it, it's all part of the learning process 😀. Thanks for watching 👍.
Don't like, don't watch.
Turn this fcking dog music off
@@UnholiestJedi he said he enjoyed the content just not the music. And i agree. When watching a resto video i would prefer to not have techno blasting the whole time. It doesnt fit. Honestly the best music for resto videos is soft light maybe classical music playing ever so lightly in the background. Almost forgetting that its there because the main focus is the craftsmanship. Or no music at all and just have the sounds of the build playing
Good video, but I could not stomach 33 minutes of the annoying, pointless music. Had to fast forward and mute, and when muting, you miss narration. Lose the music & you have a good video. We'd rather hear machine, tools and your explanations than music. Not trying to be mean, just honest.
Do not use club music in your video’s. It is very annoying. Great job on the restoration by the way
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate you watching, cheers.
Change that horrendous music!
That was absolutely phenomenal. Lots of work, and a ton of respect on all the great work you did. The machine looks awesome.
Hi Mark, thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment, appreciate it. Cheers for the positive feedback, I really enjoyed the process and I'm very happy with how it turned out, it works great now. 😀
enjoyed watching nice and easy to follow thank you . PS I had to turn the sound down music a bit repetitive.
Hi James, thanks for watching. It wasn't the best choice of music in hindsight, all a learning process, I'll keep tweaking it though. Cheers.
No need to turn the music down.. just get rid of it completely.. it serves no purpose other than to p*** people off...a part from that a very interesting video...
I couldn't watch it right through. I wanted hear what you said but & muted it. Apart from that I really liked what you did.
Can’t please everyone. Enjoyed the music/ content and video 👍
Hi MCCC, thanks for watching, appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment too. Cheers. 😀
I'm now inspired to restore my grandfather's 4" cabinet makers jointer from the 50's. Definately a project I will take up in the next couple yers. Well done.
Hey, that's absolutely fantastic, I'm glad this gave you a little nudge to get it done, best of luck with the restoration. Thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers. 😀
This was incredible! Thanks for posting the transformation. You have a beautiful machine there.
Hi Jason, thank you for the kind words, very much appreciated and thanks for watching 😀👍
Absolutely beautiful! I have basically the same model but mine had been sitting outside in the weather for a year or more. I’ve spent the day removing rust removal the table. I would like to repaint mine at some time in the future. These old central machinery jointer are very affordable and do a nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Howdy, they are a great little machine for the handyman type of work, I wish you the best for your restoration too. Thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers. 😀
Great work, Mike! I love your paint scheme too. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Felix
Hi Felix, I appreciate the kind words, thanks very much and thanks for watching, cheers 😀👍
Woodworking, restoring machines and electronic music are among the finer things in life. Nice job restoring! Thank you for posting!!
Hey, thanks for the kind words, appreciate you taking a look, cheers. 😀
I lasted 3 minutes before the noise that some people call music made me pause, comment and leave.
Thanks for the feedback anyway, appreciate you stopping by, cheers 👍
Me too. The actual content was fine, then the racket started. I'm outta here!
@@foxtrap8826 Exactly. I love restoration type videos but I like to hear the restorer explain what he's doing and why. If I wanted to listen to gay dance party type of music I would look for it.
Yep, that background nonsense was too much for me as well.
Nice job mate. Looks great. Glad to see your rego is up to date as well!
Thanks, I'll blank the Rego out next time! :D
Great video! I now feel confident to take my jointer apart and bring it back to its original glory. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you found it helpful, have fun restoring yours 😀
Brilliant! I just got a semi restored one so this was very helpful thanks!
Hi Rob, I'm glad it helped and thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers 😀
That turned out amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching, appreciate it. Cheers. 😀
Just found this video. I'm currently mid-restoration on my own 6" jointer that I got for the price of free. It's an old Rockwell/Delta model that I've dated back to the 70's (No badges or serial number sadly.) Mine need a bit of TLC, as the cutterhead bearings were shot, and the adjustment Gibs for the table travel lanes were destroyed, but I really enjoy the problem solving aspect of projects like this, and your video has given me a couple of tips I'm going to use. Thanks for taking the time to document your restoration!
Hi, thanks for watching and I'm thrilled that this helped in a small way. I was fairly lucky, all the rust was surface rust and the ways and gibs cleaned up well. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic machine at the end of it. Cheers.😀
Great Job! I will be starting my restoration soon.
Thank you and thanks for watching, appreciate it, good luck with your restoration!
Great job. It amazes me that no matter how many things i restore, and videos i watch, there is always a new trick or technique to be learned: in this case filing the edges of the masking tape to cut it to fit. Hope you fixed the wobble in the base, it drove me bonkers.
Hi MJ, the floor in my shop is not perfectly flat, but there is a sweet spot and it's rock solid. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you got something from it, cheers. 😀👍
Great video! I'll join the group that disliked the music, but understand that you are going to experiment as you do videos and that not all experiments are successful, so keep trying! I have a Craftsman 6 inch Joiner/Planer That has been sitting, unused, in my garage/shop for many years. Watching this video inspired me to consider refreshing it and putting it back to work. It has a design flaw built into the fence adjustment mechanism. A small hinge like device that refuses to stay attached properly. After watching your disassembly/assembly process leads me to believe I can conquer this issue. Thanks for the video, I just subscribed and I will be checking out your site for other things of interest. Ed
Hi Edward, thanks for watching and subscribing, I'm glad this may have helped with inspiration or a solution, that's the goal of the channel. I appreciate the time you took for the feedback, I hope you do see something else that might interest you in the future. In the meantime, I'll keep learning and developing in the editing department for more appealing content. Cheers again 😀
Brilliant job there very thorough, great clip
Hi Jason, thanks for the support, very much appreciated, 👍, thanks for watching!
Great job! I really liked the way you taped and used a file to make the edges have a sharp cut line. I am going to use that one.
Hi Ron, thanks for that, appreciate it. I tried a knife and the edge of the steel was just too rough to make a neat cut and this turned out better for me. Thanks for watching 😀
Enjoyed the video and see you attend to details. Nice restoration.
Hi Terry, thanks for the feedback and for watching. Appreciate it, cheers 👍
Very nice job Hally. I'm in the process of restoring a Walker Turner 6" jointer; probably from the 1930's. I wasn't annoyed with the music. I thought I was the only one left who knew about the stick trick for setting knives; I know it's accurate to 1/1000 of an inch, and I can't recall where I learned it.
Regards from the U.S.
Outstanding, Thank You. Nice to see someone work on something just like I do. attention to detail. Enjoyed watching. St Francis
WI, USA.
Thanks JW, appreciate the kind words and for watching. I now enjoy using it, it works great 😀.
Nicely done. I just bought a similar one in much the same condition. Almost all cleaned up. Now you've got me wondering if I shouldn't continue all the way through the painting process! Thanks for the great video.
Hi Jeff, thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave your comment, very much appreciated 🙏. If this has helped give you the inspiration or nudge to go ahead and get after it, then my goal is achieved, good luck! 😀
New machine! Nicely done.
thanks, I have one of these that i will recondition now that I have seen your great job.
That's great, I hope you're happy with what you end up doing. Thanks for watching 😀
Nice to watch, Hally. The old Toolmac equipment (sold by Gasweld) is generally very solid gear from Taiwan and quite well made. Much better than the Chinese stuff today and well worth the trouble to restore. I still have a few pieces of Toolmac machinery originally purchased from Gasweld, including a pedestal drill press - still perfect after 35+ years. Probably not as good as my Australian made Waldown drill presses, but quite good quality.
Hi Wayne, I've heard that the Waldon's are really solid machines and even rough ones, still command a decent price. I'm really happy with the Toolex/Toolmac brand and agree that it may have been sold by Gasweld back in the day. After the restoration, it is running really well and I've managed to get it perfectly square, very pleased with it. Thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers. 😀
Ficou excelente a reforma, parabéns!
Thanks Regi, appreciate you watching. Cheers 👍
Beautiful work sir. You should feel rightly proud.
Thanks Peter and thanks for watching, very much appreciate it, cheers. 😀
Excellent restoration. Beautiful! A treasure.
Thank you and thanks for watching, appreciate it 😀
A masterpiece of restoration, amazing!
Thank you very much, appreciate that. Thanks for watching, cheers 😀
That looked amazing after all that work.👍🏻
Hi Jason, thanks for the feedback, I'm happy with how it turned out, thanks for watching, cheers 👍
Beautiful job man 👍🏻☮️
Hi there, thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated, thanks for watching 👍.
A real resurrection ! Great job.
Thank you and thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers. 😀
BRILLIANT Job Mate, Stay Safe !!!.
Hi Brian, appreciate that, thank you very much, and thanks for watching, cheers 👍
Wonderful job. Well done!
Hi Dan, thank you very much, appreciate that, thanks for watching 😁👍
Excellent job mate 👌🏾
Thanks man, congrats to you too !!!
Great video, well done.
Thanks Jim, appreciate the support and thanks for watching !
Looking good. Hats off
Hi, thanks for watching and the feedback, very much appreciate it, cheers. 😀
Great job. I've acquired a very similar jointer. You've given me a benchmark for restoring mine! 😂
Hi Bob, thanks for the high praise, I hope yours turns out great! Thanks for watching, cheers. 😀
That was totally amazing. Great Job! I have one I am about to start on, so you have given me the courage to get going on it. Thanks.
Hi Bobby, I'm glad you got some motivation from seeing me restore the Jointer, I hope yours turns out fantastic and works well too. Thanks for watching, appreciate it. Cheers.
Beautiful work
Thank you, and thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers. 😀
beautiful machine looks good that blue
Thanks Jeff, I'm very happy with it, appreciate you watching. 👍
Fantastique Mate. Beauty....Inspiration for me. Cheers from Quebec Canada
Merci! Thanks for watching all the way from Canada, appreciate the kind words, cheers. 😀
you renew the life of the jointer, looks like it came out of quality control 5stars
Hi Tony, Thanks for the kind comments, very much appreciated, thanks for watching 👍
Fantastic job.
Thank you, I appreciate you taking a look, cheers 😀
I like the use of the file for cutting the tape trick. I will be using that one.
Hi Gregory, I'm glad to see you could try something new, thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers 👍
Great video. I just bought a 6" that looks just like this. Date on motor is 11987. Made in Taiwan. Jet, Delta and many others were these made at the same factory.
Hi Justin, thanks for watching appreciate it and thanks for the comment. I'd say you're right, this is a Taiwan made unit too and sold as a Toolex when it was made, the manual I had for it was from a different brand, but exactly the same machine. It's a good solid little unit! You've got me curious now, I'll have to check the motor numbers and see how close they are. Cheers 😀
Awesome job!
Thank you and thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers! 😀
I love watching this but I can only watch it 5 minutes at a time. When I die I'm going to be hearing that song in my head. A lot of work turned out absolutely beautiful
Hi Michael, I've had similar feedback before and changed my newer videos that I hope are more enjoyable. Thanks for watching 😀.
Wow, quite the process, I'm now only slightly more likely to go do this now on the jointer I've inherited.
If you give it a go, I hope it turns out just the way you expect! Thanks for watching, cheers. 😀
Now this is the way to get after it!
Hi Ron, thanks for feedback and for watching, appreciate it, cheers 👍
Great job my friend
Thanks for watching and for the kind words, appreciate it, cheers. 😀
Hi Hally, Hally here. Great work. Glad you've got the guards, you only have 10 fingers. 😁
Hi Hally 😆, thanks for watching. I've never used it since without the guards, so all ten fingers still in tact 👍. Cheers.
Well done Mate!
Howdy, thanks for watching and the comment, very much appreciated. Cheers!
You did a nice job one or two things you might do diff but its a good job in all I used to be a machine tool fitter you did good you could make a shim out of a bit of off cut of steel to set the blades I made a wedge type I put markings on every millimetre you put the shim between the edge plate and edge blade say four mil then do same at other side of blade at four mil its only a guide but fairly accurate I look forward to seeing more of your vids good job mate
Hi Gary, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate that coming from a professional, cheers. 👍. I like the idea of making a tool to help set the blades quicker, I've toyed with the idea of buying a blade setting jig too, thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for watching! 😀
nice job . like brand new. well done
Hi Emanuel, thanks for that, appreciate it, thanks for watching, cheers. 😁👍
Definitely a really nice restoration mate.
I've been after one of these for a long time and still looking around. Even one In need of restoration would be something but here in the UK,
They're not In great abundance.
Hi there, thanks for watching, really appreciate it. This is a solid unit probably about 30 years old or so, I like the construction, everything feels like good quality, smooth and tight, very happy with it. I hope you find one soon too. Cheers. 😀
It was really a beautiful restoration of that jointer
Thanks Tom, I appreciate you watching, cheers. 😀
Great Job! I'm very impressed because I am considering to get old japan made 10" jointer very soon. But it is very old(70's?) and I warried about the condition.
This video will very helpful for me. Thank you Hally, take care!
Thank you and thanks for watching! I'm glad it will help you, good luck.
Do you really think that is old for woodworking machinery? Don't do what this joker did…
This comment is not helpful to me or anyone reading this, perhaps something more constructive would be better next time 😉, thanks for hanging around though, appreciate it!
Enjoyed your great restoration...garage blue is the in color for workshop tools....tell me, how the he'll did you get all the blue overspray off the garage floor?
This may be helpful for setting the blades.....set the out feed table a fraction high. Place small magnet each side just protruding over the top of your blade...the magnet will suck the untightened blade to the exact level as the out table. Tighten the blade and repeat same on other blade. When finished adjust out table as necessary. Overall great job, thanks for sharing,
Howdy, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😀. There wasn't too much of the paint overspray stuck to the floor, the vast majority of it just swept up. I did another project later with a spray gun and air compressor and there was much more overspray using that, I'll have to put down some drop sheets next time. I like the magnet idea, that would get everything even for sure, I'll have to keep an eye out for suitable magnets. I've seen this same set up as a tool you can buy, I didn't think I could justify the cost at the time. Cheers again, appreciate it!
Nice job. Looks awsome
Hi Stephen, thanks for the positive comment, appreciate it. Thanks for watching 😀
Beautiful restoration. Do all of your wood chips all slide down the chute and end up on the floor or in a tub. Have you added any dust extractor vacuum connection?
Hi Roy, thanks for the compliment, very much appreciated. I don't have a dust extractor, so at the moment, the wood chips fall onto the floor, I can't stand them piling up too much, so I shop vac them every so often. I have a small shop, so I mounted this on a mobile platform to make it easy to move around, and that makes it harder to get a tub under, but if this was floor mounted, that would be a definite option. Thanks for watching.
The Australians and New Zealanders have some of the best workshop content on UA-cam. They pay quite a bit of attention to presentation.
Hi Bob, I appreciate the kind words, thank you. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Great job 👍👍👍👍
Thank you, thanks for watching, cheers 👍
Just seen your video and was impressed with your results. I'm sure it was a lot of work but you ended up with a valuable and beautiful piece of equipment, don't know what you paid for it but it is most likely less expensive than purchasing a similar jointer in already restored condition. Good Job in my opinion.
Hi, thanks for the comment and question, I paid $300 for it and restored ones here go for about $800, so I'm very happy and it works great, thanks for watching 😀
Excellent restoration; doubt I'd have believed it to be the same machine if I'd just seen the before and after shot. You might investigate if it's possible to get a helical cutter head for it; well worth the investment if it's available.
Hi Allan, appreciate the comments, thank you. I think I will check out the Helical Head, it should be better for the hardwood I'm using too. Thanks for watching, cheers 👍.
Great job second live jointer 👍
Cheers, thanks for watching, appreciate it. 😀
To set my knives I use twi 6 inch long magnets, set my I feed table where I want it. Place the magnets on the Out feed table straddle the cutter head. Set it dead center and makes setting knives perfect every time. Just mark the cutter head dead center for each knife. Once that is done changing or adjusting knives takes just minutes. Get good strong magnets. YOUR JOINTER LOOKS FANTASTIC ‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Hi Mmanut, that is a great suggestion, definitely one I'll look into and see where I can find some magnets that would work, thanks for that. Appreciate you watching, cheers. 😀👍
Top job. I was expecting the ways to be trashed! Any thoughts on fixing a blocks of MG/AL for corrosion resistance? Music was fine imo
Thanks for that, I appreciate the comments. I hadn't though of that at all to be honest, although left un-protected there would be rust form, where I live is quite dry generally and a light coat of WD-40 or similar keeps it well protected for months, something to consider though. Thanks for watching 👍.
Gotta say I’ve got numerous spray guns both air and airless but find myself doing most of the general painting with rattle cans and brushes. It’s really a great deal more convenient. There’s no demand to paint an entire assembly like with a spray gun which can be a pain because of all the cleanup.
Hi James, all the smaller stuff I also find it much more convenient to use cans. I've got a couple of pretty big paint jobs coming up that would take a lot of cans. It will probably depend on how I can hang everything to make it accessible and then worthwhile to use a gun? I'll have to try and see at the time. Thanks for watching and for the information, it's appreciated, cheers. 👍😀
NICE JOB
Thank you very much, appreciate you watching, cheers! 😀
Will you be adding the blade guard? Seems very dangerous to joint boards without the guard.
Hi Jose, thanks for watching and for leaving a comment, very much appreciated. Thankfully I do have the guard and it was fitted straight after the video. I chose to show the operation without it, but in hindsight, should have added it for the video. Thanks for the suggestions, cheers. 😀
This reminds me of an older powermatic 54a jointer.
Hi there, thanks for watching, appreciate it 😀. This was made in Taiwan and I know it was sold under several different brand names, so it's very possible, it's a great solid little machine, very happy with it. Cheers.
What a thing of beauty! Awesome job! Maybe it's already been asked but, was there a blade guard?
Hi Tom, thank you for taking the time to leave an awesome comment and for watching, I appreciate it. I do have the blade guard and I should have shown it in this video. In another video where I use the jointer properly, it's installed! Thanks again 😀
Hi mate, great job, looks awesome. Can I ask where you got your replacement blades? I've got a McMillian 6" but cant find a manual or replacement blades. Any help appreciated. Cheers
Howdy, thanks for watching and the comment, appreciate it 😀. I got them from Ebay, generic, and looked up the size of the blade. Mine were a common size, so there was a good choice. Hope that helps. Cheers.
Nice Job! Just like a bought one ... I might look for one myself. I like the Blue - got a kind of Carbatec look to it :)
Anyone ever use Mr Sheen as a wax? A farmer mate of mine recommended it, and it seems to work very well.
CHeap and easy to apply after each use of my restored table.
Howdy, thanks for watching and now that you mention it, it does look a bit Carbatecy with the colour 😀. Appreciate the support!
Nice job , restore British machines myself 👍🏻
Thanks, and thanks for watching, appreciate it. Cheers. 😀
great job you inspired me got one and restore it back to it original state so far so good its a ridgid 06000 got it at yard sell for 50 bucks batter then buying new one
WOW! Fantastic to hear my video inspired you to Get After It and restore one yourself. I'm glad to hear you're happy with it, I'm happy I did mine, it works great. Thanks for watching and the great comment, appreciate it, cheers 😀
Nice job question you might want to try a few things the board you painted black might use bedliner if used as a place to store spraying with bed liner stops the tools from rolling the metal items I like the blue paint from what company is it from oi thought of using the gray , greenor black Rusteloum Hammerite paint
Hi there, thanks for watching and for the suggestions. I think the idea of the bedliner is a good one, there are chips that get on the base, but I don't think the extra texture would cause an issue and I do store one of the covers on the base. The paint was a Dulux Metalshield Hammertone Blue, I'm not sure if that's available outside of Australia, but I would expect that it would be similar to Rustoleum, I was really happy with the result. Cheers. 😀
Evaporust would save u time sanding. Maybe make a vacuum adapter for the chips.....nice 👌
Hey, thanks for the suggestions, both great ideas, appreciate you watching, cheers 👍😀!
Oh the music!
Hi David, for better or worse, I've changed the music for future videos, thanks for watching 😀
Wow! Really nice restoration. Night and day. And yes that music is awful. I look forward to seeing more rebuilds. Ty
Hi Rick, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated 😀. I'm really happy with it too, it works great, the timber mills up as perfect as I could ever want, just fantastic. I've taken all the feedback about the music on board, and more recent videos have changed quite a bit 👌. Cheers.
I muted the sound and turned on closed captioning.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching.
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 Enjoyed it. I wish I had the room for a jointer. You did a great job restoring yours.
Hi MM, I don't have a lot of room either, which is why I ended up mounting it on a mobile platform. My floor is quite flat and the lockable casters mean it doesn't move at all, you wouldn't know it wasn't sitting directly on the floor. Thanks again for the feedback and for watching, appreciate it. 👍
Machine looks excellent! Great video, but get yourself a safety cover and some push blocks. I was wincing seeing your shirt get so close to that exposed cutterhead!
Excellent job. I’m sure the time is going to be well worth the investment for many years to come.
It's great to use it, knowing it's pretty much back to new. Thanks for watching.
Awesome job. Well done mate. How long did it take to overall?
Thanks for that, appreciate you watching. Overall it took me about 20-22 hours, including a few smaller things I did that I didn't show, like a small repair to the motor. That was the first large scale restoration I did like that, so there was some "learning what to do" time in that (which is half the fun), I'd expect to do it quicker next time. Hope that helps, cheers mate.
great vid can the music!
Thanks for watching and the feedback, more recent videos have been changed based on the feedback about the music in this video, cheers. 😀
FANTASTIC JOB, BEAUTIFUL MACHINE ‼️ ‼️ PS, GET YOURSELF A SAFETY COVER FOR CUTTER HEAD. GOOD LUCK, Vinny 🇺🇸
Howdy, thanks for watching and for the concern, I have the cover that went on after filming, I should have shown it in the video. Appreciate the support, cheers 😀
How many hours do you think this took?
Great job, looks amazing! Would also love to know what your investment was in money (w/materials) and what you think you'd pay for the refurbished jointer (knowing it's completely situational).
Hi Michael, thanks for watching and great questions! This was the first in depth restoration I did, so there was extra time taken to learn as I worked on it. It took about 20 hours all up for me. The cost was $350 to buy it (I'm in Australia btw 😀), I used a few consumables that would be about $30-$40, $60 in paint and $30 to get the knives sharpened. As a professional, you'd have far faster ways to strip paint and rust etc. so the time would be far less of course. At a hourly rate for a labourer the time investment I made would be $400-$500. In total the cost is then around $1,000 all up. This is a good quality older made jointer and in the condition it's in, I'd probably be able to get close to my investment back for it, I'd think around $800-$900 and I have a few sets of knives to go with it. A new one the same is around $1,200. Honestly, I think if I saw mine and the way it was restored and how well it cuts, with the extras, I'd be happy to pay $800-$900 and save the difference compared to a new one. In the condition it's in now, it's absolutely perfect for my needs, cuts perfectly square and straight and looks tidy in the shop now too! I hope that helps, cheers. 😁
probably very little chance you will see this but I have some questions. I have a similar planer made by Tanner Machines about 60 years ago. It's in working order apart from a 100mm crack under the front runner for the output plate. Since its made of cast iron I don't know how to fix it. If you still have the planer in this video could you tell me some of the dimensions as I am considering finding another base and using my feed and output plate. I just don't know if its possible. Or any other suggestions would be amazing.
Hi there, thanks for watching, very much appreciated. I'll get some dimensions for you that might help, in the meantime, my best suggestion is take the cracked part to a machine shop that can do brazed repairs of cast iron and ask them to quote the repair. These repairs will usually be at least as strong as the original cast iron and if it's more or less in tact, just cracked, then they should be able to do a near perfect repair. Hope that helps. Cheers! 😀
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 I appreciate you getting back to me mate. I have been looking around and finding a replacement base is going to be a challenge. I might do what you suggest and see if it can be brazed back together. The crack has split the iron. Sounds like brazing will hold it closed and any deviation of the runner could be corrected relatively easily. Thanks for the info again. You have inspired me to try and get it fully restored to almost brand new condition.
How flat were the machined surfaces are you finished sanding??
Hi Paul, great question. After I finished the method I used, I put a 12inch (30cm) steel rule over the surface and couldn't see any light coming through from underneath, I don't have anything longer that's flat enough to check in the long direction overall. For this machine and its use for me, this method was perfectly fine, but very very far from precision. If you wanted or needed a perfectly flat surface, it would pay to get them properly machine ground like they would have been from factory. I was really happy with the results I got, I spent time trying to be sure I was getting even pressure across the whole surface. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😀.
That is a job well done, love restorations videos, how many hours did it take?
Howdy, thanks for watching and for the great comment, appreciate it. I think in total it took about 20hours all up from start to finish, I was very happy with the result, it works brilliantly. Cheers 😀
Отличная работа.От меня жирный лайк.
Спасибо.
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Thank you for doing the video of this. Do you have the model of what jointer that is? I’m about to try and get running I think the same jointer but I’m missing the tensioner spring for the blade guard and didn’t know if you could do a short video or any recommendations where to get one specifically for the 30289 6” Jointer by Central Machinery I have.
I’m trying to get a shop going all I need is a bandsaw and to fix the jointer. Thanks again
Good job
Hi CT, the model is a Toolex WJ-150 6" Jointer. I'm sure it's sold under a few different names depending on your region, if you can find a manual online, that might help with the part you're after, hope this helps and thanks for watching, appreciate it, cheers!🙂
Do you know where I can get a torsion spring for the blade guard?
I have accomplished almost everything else to have ready
Thanks for responding to my last question
@@ct3282 Hi CT, great to hear you're getting the Jointer up and running. I don't know exactly where to get the spring from, but I'd think that most machinery spare parts stores would be able to match something for you, like vespertools.com.au/product/jointer-planer-spring-guard/ (I'm not sure of your region). Hope that helps 😀
You might want to polish up the surfaces up to a near mirror or mirror finish. It will prevent rust from forming in the future.
Hi Bob, that's a good tip, in between jobs at the moment, I re-apply wax to the bare surfaces and that seems to be doing a good job too. Thanks for watching and the comment, cheers. 😀
I am already hard of hearing, that music could have been less loud. I don't mind hearing some music, but NOT SO LOUD.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Music was terrible. Plenty of good vids on UA-cam with no music at all.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching.
I'm considering restoring an old vintage 6" jointer as well. The only thing intimidating to me is the bed. How do you get both the infeed and outfeed table flat/parallel/etc after all the rust removal and polishing?
Hi there, great question. The only way to get it done absolutely 100% is to take it to a machine shop and get them to grind it flat and parallel. Mine was very flat to start with (I was impressed with the quality to start with which helped) and the quality of the work I do, the micro millimetre precision I'd get from a fresh grind was not necessary, so I made sure that when I was going over the surface I kept the pressure and coverage as even as I could and in the end I couldn't see any change, it still looks as flat as ever. I hope that helps, thanks for watching, cheers. 😀
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah that does help. It's good to know I don't need to stress too much about it, if it is in good shape already. Very nice video by the way.
