1934 Master Craftsman 4 inch Jointer

[lafester]

I just cleaned this one up and thought I would share. I don't think there are too many of these around as they are only in the 1934 catalog. This one is complete with motor and even has the original belt. Made by Walker Turner.

Sorry, I had the wrong catalog pic (updated).

Looks great, and definitely a tough one to find!

Very nice!! I have a couple of the 6" Cman/WT jointers, and a WT 6" on the CI base. Here are a few pics, including one of the motor plate....

The craftsman has moved on, but I just picked up a complete Delta 6" which will take over for my homecraft 4".

I've been looking for a reasonable 6" for awhile now and finally found one.

Just got it inside and the rust came off easily with a little simple green and some scrubbing.
Overall it looks really nice, complete with the belt guard. The motor isn't a Delta but as luck would have it, I just picked up a very nice Delta motor to replace it.

Serial number dates it @ late 1944.

Got the new motor on, did some test boards. Works great! I'll probably splurge for some new knives though.

Not bad for $100. I'll get that for my 4" so a free upgrade.
