light enough to be portable so that they could be moved to
where needed at a moments notice.

To insure absolute accuracy when tilting the fence

the top screws are individually adjustable. This is
another Delta patented feature that is often
imitated on lesser machines. Once the stops are
set, the fence will always return to its setting.

There are also convenient scales on the table and

fence to make accurate settings easy. The front
safety guard provides protection for the user
against the actions of the cutting knives and head.

The quality features of this Delta Jointer 6-inch

machine and the durability of the materials and
manufacturing are testaments as to why this
machine has been the standard 6-inch jointer for
shops of all types.

The 6-inch Delta Jointer cuts rabbets a full 1/2"

deep and can be made in one pass of the work,
although that isn't recommended. The guard is
instantly removed for rabbeting and as quickly
Subscribe To This Site replaced.

If one peers at the underside of the tables, you'll

see the rigid construction of the husky base casting
and the dovetailed ways. The convenient ball-crank
handle allows the front table to be raised and
lowered easily and quickly. The scale at the side
shows the depth of ut which is a maximum of 1/2" on the 6" jointer.
