Usability
The jointer needs a fair bit of work before it can be effectively used:
- Remove rust from bed, with oil + steel wool, then sandpaper from course up to 1000 grit
- Research the fence, figure out how it's supposed to provide rigidity, and fix it
- Replace the belt
Planned improvements
- Build a replacement stand
- Install a hinged motor mount for belt tensioning
- Add a belt guard
- Add a starter switch
