   I'm not sure if anyone makes a 4" jointer anymore except for some bench top models. I used to have the Delta combination 4" jointer and 9" saw years ago. You can buy a new 6" import like a Sunhill, Yorkcraft or a Delta Shopmaster for around $350. Bench tops are under $200 but they wouldn't compare to the old Delta. I'm guessing the jointer would be worth $150 - $175. This would have been a princely sum a few years ago but finding an inexpensive jointer isn't easy.

   Beat it to fit / Paint it to match

        I saw an old Delta 4 " jointer in add   in Knots  classified. 3/30/05 asking $150.00 including metal stand on rollers.   I think it was a 1946 model . It looks just like the one I have only older.  I hope this one is still available.  However if I see a tool that I really like I purchase it right then.  My experience  has proved that if I wait and think about it  and call  back the tool has been sold. Then I am upset with myself for not buying it in the first place.     Good luck to you in your search.

   I don't know where you are but I have a small Craftsman 4" benchtop jointer.

   It's probably 15 years old, hardly used.  A little rust to clean up.

   Your welcome to it free if you pick it up, I don't want to box and ship it.

   I'm in Southern Vermont.

   I sold a 6" bench top for 50 bucks to a freind with new blades..I should have asked for a little more. id say 75 bucks is about right (if your talking benchtop)

   I would think a jointer that small isn't good for anything except edge jointing - and that can be done on a router table.  I can't see this being worth more than $100.

   taking a chance

   Hi Jeff,

   I realize the post is old. Do you still have the jointer and do you still want to get rid of it?

   I live in southern NH and will take a ride.

   Thanks,

   4" Delta jointer

   I have recently retired and closed my cabinet shop after 40 years.  I have and old Delta 4" jointer in excellent shape.  It is mounted on an original Delta stand.  I also have a 24" Delta scroll saw and a Delta 4' lathe.  Didn't know if you found something but since I'm new to this way of communication I thought I'd give it a try.
