This machine just appeared for sale on our local Kijiji site, a Diltec, likely made in Tiawan. It is not reversible. The jointer is a 6"
But, the seller wants $900 for it....and there are Shopsmiths offered for less here. Appears to be in good shape though.

Looks like an SS with a different nameplate. So much for respecting patents. I suppose patents do expire, but the quality of this is not likely nearly as good as an old SS. Has anyone seen these before?

Looks like a Total Shop clone, with the on/off switch down on the lower pan.

I like the lower "enclosed" storage, I was going to do a shelf but all would get filled with saw dust, I like the drawers!!! Thanks for the pics and better idea!!!

You stole those words right out of my mouth!
Maybe it is to keep the saw dust off them.
Then again perhaps to cover up the rust.

Maybe they were wrapped with a plastic sleeve in shipping and never removed?
