DJ-20 parts availabiltiy - joe1086 - 06-30-2017
Looking to purchase a used 8" jointer in my area and might have a line on a decent DJ-20. Should I be concerned about parts availability, or should I just stay away from Delta?

If the jointer is tight and no parts required at this time buy it. They are bulletproof overall and the chances of you ever needing parts are slim.
That said if the tables are sloppy or chewed up around the cutterhead (noticeably abused) let it be someone else's issue
Motors, pulleys, belts and bearings, even cutter heads can all be had on the secondary market.

Thanks Joe, I was hoping that was the case.
