    Question hafco pt-6 jointer query

    Hi all,
    I have just purchased a pt-6 jointer from hare and
    Forbes and while unpacking I noticed a few small holes on the edge of the outfeed table. Being my first jointer I'm not sure if this will affect its use in any way? Thank you

    I don't think you should have any worries

    Looks like poor casting or a welded repair. Wonder what it would look like on the inside? Personally, i wouldn't be happy with it.

    Hi Tom8, I don't think it will affect it's use or performance.
    The time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

    Hi Tom,
    I wouldn't be too concerned with it.
    We have to live with these sorts of problems when buying machinery in this kind of price range.

    Thanks Mark i know it's just a basic jointer,
    and i don't mind as long as it doesn't get worse?
    Also I realise it's on the infeed table.
    I guess I'm just being pedantic. Cheers.
