Topic tags/keywords: steel city jointer craigslist 406550 tool

Found this deal on a steel city 406550 8” Jointer on Craigslist. Wasn’t planning on purchasing a jointer but if it’s a good enough deal I might act on it. /tls/6099325675

I know the reviews of steel city is greatly mixed and CS is non existent. What do you think of this unit, it’s asking price and what do you think a reasonable offer would be?

That jointer is going to be even heavier than others due to the granite beds. If I could, I would consider buying it at that price IF things all checked out flat and square. Especially if equipped with a helical head cutter.
