RESTORATION of a Jointer, Stunning Result - Bought CHEAP at Auction! (6 Inch Jointer/Planer) 

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.

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

enjoyed watching nice and easy to follow thank you . PS I had to turn the sound down music a bit repetitive.

That was absolutely phenomenal. Lots of work, and a ton of respect on all the great work you did. The machine looks awesome.

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

Do not use club music in your video’s. It is very annoying. Great job on the restoration by the way

Can’t please everyone. Enjoyed the music/ content and video 👍

Woodworking, restoring machines and electronic music are among the finer things in life. Nice job restoring! Thank you for posting!!

Great video! I now feel confident to take my jointer apart and bring it back to its original glory. Thanks for sharing!

I lasted 3 minutes before the noise that some people call music made me pause, comment and leave.

That turned out amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

thanks, I have one of these that i will recondition now that I have seen your great job.

A real resurrection ! Great job.

This was incredible! Thanks for posting the transformation. You have a beautiful machine there.

New machine! Nicely done.

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

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.

Great job. I've acquired a very similar jointer. You've given me a benchmark for restoring mine! 😂

Nice job mate. Looks great. Glad to see your rego is up to date as well!

Outstanding, Thank You. Nice to see someone work on something just like I do. attention to detail. Enjoyed watching. St Francis WI, USA.

Great Job! I will be starting my restoration soon.

Beautiful work

Fantastic job.

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.

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.

Beautiful work sir. You should feel rightly proud.

beautiful machine looks good that blue

Fantastique Mate. Beauty....Inspiration for me. Cheers from Quebec Canada

The Australians and New Zealanders have some of the best workshop content on RU-vid. They pay quite a bit of attention to presentation.

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,

Brilliant job there very thorough, great clip

Looking good. Hats off

Great job my friend

Brilliant! I just got a semi restored one so this was very helpful thanks!

Awesome job!

Well done Mate!

Great work, Mike! I love your paint scheme too. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Felix

Excellent restoration. Beautiful! A treasure.

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!

Great video Halley, have subscribed gladly. The background music detracts from the quality of your vid (for me anywhoo), maybe turn the volume down or leave it off all together. It’s not needed because of how good your presentation is. Jus’ say’in.

My husband was watching and enjoyed the process but I’m here for the music! This is my new weekend dance mix so thanks 😊.

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.

Great job second live jointer 👍

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 🇺🇸

Enjoyed the video and see you attend to details. Nice restoration.

you renew the life of the jointer, looks like it came out of quality control 5stars

That looked amazing after all that work.👍🏻

FANTASTIC JOB, BEAUTIFUL MACHINE ‼️ ‼️ PS, GET YOURSELF A SAFETY COVER FOR CUTTER HEAD. GOOD LUCK, Vinny 🇺🇸

Beautiful job man 👍🏻☮️

Hi Hally, Hally here. Great work. Glad you've got the guards, you only have 10 fingers. 😁

Nice job , restore British machines myself 👍🏻

It was really a beautiful restoration of that jointer

This reminds me of an older powermatic 54a jointer.

A masterpiece of restoration, amazing!

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.

Oh the music!

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.

I muted the sound and turned on closed captioning.

really I saw this vedio 2times really good jobe to restoration this beautiful machine I love too much carpenter machine because my father he is carpenter working with(IPC) it's British company Iraq petrol company

Superb restoration,but the music!-auwful!

Wow, quite the process, I'm now only slightly more likely to go do this now on the jointer I've inherited.

NICE JOB

Hi, Thanks for Hanging Out! I managed to pick up this Jointer cheap at auction and the more I dug into it, the worse it looked, so I committed to a more thorough restoration and I'm glad I did, it turned out way better than I expected and I'm really satisfied with the result and it works great to boot. I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching 👍 Edit : I have the guard for over the cutterhead, thanks for the concern, it makes an appearance in a future video 😁, check it out! (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GdEs9RxzCM8.html) Also, thanks for the feedback on the music choice video editing itself, it's all valuable when learning and navigating something new. And WOW, over 90k views, unbelievable, thank you very much!

BRILLIANT Job Mate, Stay Safe !!!.

Excellent job mate 👌🏾

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.

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.

Great video, well done.

I just wish I had room for one, but my garage is already pretty much maxed out with the tools I have...

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.

Now this is the way to get after it!

Lose the Music ,it’s a Nice restauration

I like the use of the file for cutting the tape trick. I will be using that one.

Wonderful job. Well done!

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!

Will you be adding the blade guard? Seems very dangerous to joint boards without the guard.

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

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

Wow! Really nice restoration. Night and day. And yes that music is awful. I look forward to seeing more rebuilds. Ty

Great job 👍👍👍👍

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.

I am already hard of hearing, that music could have been less loud. I don't mind hearing some music, but NOT SO LOUD.

Nice job. Looks awsome

great job, in the future all be it late use a rubber mallet to tap edges of the tape versus using a file, faster and easier.

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 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

great vid can the music!

I wish I can remember all the words to that song

I agree that the music was annoying. Good job on the restoration.

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?

nice job . like brand new. well done

I just found your channel. Great job on the jointer but the music?

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

Great job, it looks great. Two safety items needed, the guard and push blocks. Sadly the music verses your voice was over powering. I muted ninety percent of the rebuild.

Great job, well done, but get a guard on it please. I have seen fingers disappear from the lack of a guard. I know you said you have one. Be safe and keep it real.
