FS: Porter C 16" Jointer - thauburger - 11-10-2016

This is not mine, but it's from the shop in Baltimore where I apprenticed. I've spent lots of hours on this machine, and thought folks here might appreciate it.

In great condition for its age.

Nice looking jointer, but price is a bit steep.

well if it works as good as it is supposed to and how it is kept I would think the price us about right but more like $3000 to $3500.  I also wonder if a carbide blade thing can be put on there which would add maybe $1400 to it?

RE: FS: Porter C 16" Jointer - cvillewood - 11-16-2016

What in the world is a "carbide blade thing?" Do you mean a spiral cutterhead? Like a Byrd shelix?

RE: FS: Porter C 16" Jointer - Arlin Eastman - 11-17-2016

You guessed right.  I could not remember the name of it.

Just out of curiosity, what was the name of the shop that you apprenticed at in Baltimore? Was it a cabinetmaking shop or something?
