Heads Up - Bargain 'available'

[badtheba]

Bad,
I had to buy a new reducer sleeve for mine cause I lose the original one. My motor is 5/8 shaft. They are available off ebay. Without the sleeve the motor extension will fit right on the 3/4 motor shaft.

By the way, Killer job on the ER. The two tone colors look great! Keep up the good work!

You were able to buy a reducer bushing with a slot cut for the key, or did you have to modify it?

An interesting 10ER, Note the extended bench with the 4E jointer mounted separately on the left end, with its own motor

I wonder what it says on the front of the table fence bar.

Also, several people have told me there was never a complete pistol grip made for the 10ER miter bar, but yet I keep seeing them in pictures.

Bad,
Yes! They are available on Ebay. 3/4 to 5/8 3" long. I just cut 1" off the end to make it 2". About $10.

Here's one here.

Someone took a lot of pride in that machine. Well kept and organized.
The longer bench is especially nice. I have to question the pulley setup on the jointer though. Typically the motor would have a 5" pulley. But sine I don't know the rpm of the motor...

By zooming in I could just make out the label on the table,

It says "DANGER OPEN BLADE BELOW"

I certainly agree, beautifully maintained and organized.

Whoever set it up for the photo wasn't very successful in following the silhouettes on the back board though.

I bet at one time the jointer was an add on but the person couldn’t find the motor extension and the 5 inch pulley kit. So it was this setup that was used. Very ingenious setup as long as it works. All on one bench!

I wonder if Magna originally planned the 4E to be able to be run standalone. I haven't seen that in old marketing materials yet, but maybe someone else knows. It has bosses in the casting to be able to bolt it to a table or stand, so it would make sense to run it directly from its own motor. Of course that mounting method would make the jointer headrest unnecessary, so I'm not discounting this individual's ingenuity. As someone else mentioned, we don't know the motor RPMs, so with the right pulley setup it might already be in the best range. Isn't 6000-7000 recommended for this size jointer?

In the owners manual it does have plans for a bench to have it as a stand-alone machine. I believe it also says something about what motor and pulley to use.
