Crescent 8-inch Jointer
In construction and design this machine is the exact counterpart of our larger Jointers. But the dimensions being smaller, it has the following advantages: Less space required, less power, less cost and the knives are easier to keep in order. The head being of small diameter enables us to reduce the throat space between tables to a minimum. The machine has a four-sided solid steel head, slotted on two sides for special cutters. Tables are arranged for rabbeting, and tilting fence is provided. The countershaft has tight and loose pulleys, 8 inches diameter for 3-inch belt. Speed of countershaft should be 900 revolutions per minute to give the head a speed of 4,000 per minute. The pulley on the head is 3½ inches diameter and will admit of a 2½-inch belt, but 2¼-inch belt will be plenty wide to run the machine to best advantage.
