No, I didn't buy one, but I went and looked at a used 16" one in Raleigh today. It was an old style Bridgewood that had been "restored". Unfortunately, the restoration was spraying a coat of paint on it and covering the oil caps, screw adjustment mechanisms and so forth. It was a large beast, but it just wasn't meant to be. I think I would have been more interested if it hadn't been painted. Bernhard went with me and was concerned with the old style bearings and the wear on it. It ran pretty smooth, but the castings just didn't seem as firm as they should be. Oh well, it was worth an attempt. One day I will get a LARGE one.....

Re: New jointer
Travis, if you need to use a 16 incher before you buy one, you're welcome to come out and use mine.

Re: New jointer
When time arises, I will have to take you up on that offer. Thanks.
Only one problem though, you will have to get the rust off for all of the drool.
What kind do you have?

Re: New jointer
At first glance I thought it was the newer style of Bridgewood, but that didn't last long. Very impressive, especially with the spiral cutterhead!

Re: New jointer
Trav - it does a nice job. I purchased it to use on timberframe projects. Let me know if/when you need to use it.

Re: New jointer
Scott, you do timberframing? I'd love to see examples of your work, I did some timberframing by hand at Old Salem 20 years ago. Nothing recently, although I'm always looking for an opportunity to design buildings that are timber framed. In terms of fire resistance, timberframed buildings are given about the same value by the building code as a steel structure with 1-hour protection (1 layer gypsum board)! The main arguments against today are cost and environmental sustainability, but if you're trying to build something that will last 100 years (or 1000), you can't beat wood.

Re: New jointer
Or the mini-max and old worn out disc sander to my shop. I can throw away some of what I have.

Re: New jointer
Digiteck - re Timberframing - it's an interest. I've helped to erect some and have a quasi-timberframe run-in shed that I built a number of years ago.
Next year, I'm planning to build a timberframe barn for my wife, and at some point in the future I'd like to build a timberframe expansion onto the house.
Hey Woodguy - TWO NEW/OLD MACHINE opportunities in a single day???? You're my hero!

Oh, my!!!  Now THAT's a jointer. 
Looks like there may be evidence of some other large machines nearby.

Re: New jointer
You took Bernard with you and left empty-handed? Musta been in rough shape for the dynamic (shopping) duo to turn it down.
