- A quick mini restore of a rusty Jet JJ-6OS jointer. I found it on Craigslist in October. It looked like it was in bad shape, but since the motor was running and the table and fence were flat I decided to take a risk on it. Looking at the rust damage, it looks like this has been left outdoor in the rain.
I need a jointer for a dining room table I'm planning to build soon. I was planning to repaint it, but I really need to get the dining room table done asap, so the painting will have to wait.
I found a manual online for the JJ-6OS, so I went ahead and disassembled the whole thing without taking detailed photos or videos. When it was time to put it back together, that's when I realized that all the JJ-6OS manuals online were for a slightly different kind of model. It took a lot of trial and error, but somehow managed to put everything back together.
Posting this online, just in case somebody else is reassembling this same model. I hope this might serve as a helpful reference.
The whining sound is the bearings ready to fail on either the motor or jointer shaft. Remove the drive belt and turn it on to check if motor or shaft.
Thanks!
I understand how useful a jointer as the first step in squaring lumber but the design makes adjusting one to be co-planar is a challenge. The design could be simplified with a one piece cast table and fence with the in-feed side milled / ground a fixed distance below the out-feed side (i.e. 1mm). It would require more passes than an adjustable in-feed but never go out of alignment except the need to adjust the entire table / fence assembly so the out-feed side matches the height of the cutter head which could be done with adjustment to it rather than the table.
Interesting idea. I personally do not use the adjustment much. I usually leave it at 1/8th inches (3mm) 99% of the time.
I have the same exact model my wife got me for christmas. Do you have a video on how to operate the unit? adjustments etc.?
I haven't made plans on making an instructional video yet. It'll be around spring if I do make one, my garage temp is in the 40s these past few weeks. Feel free to ask if you have any questions and I'll try to help answer. Take care!
@@geneparcellano How do you adjust the depth indicator?
@@Coachbillyc The way I did it was I leveled the in-feed and out-feed table. Then I loosened the screw that locks the red pointer and moved it to the zero mark.

What's the rotating handle on the top at 2:42 do?
It allows you to move the fence back and forth.
