Unless Barret started boxing their rifles up in Powermatic boxes then I guess a fifty cal is out of the question.

I wish guys! 50 cal is right up my alley!!

NicholasShetleyMember since Nov 2013Nov 21, 2015 6:12 PM CT

I’m going to guess a jointer.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 21, 2015 6:52 PM CT

Hahaha!

Not only a jointer but a Powermatic 6″ with the Helical Cutter head!!!!!!!! OhhhhhhhhYeah!!!!!!!!!

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015Nov 21, 2015 7:27 PM CT

Do we get a ChrisK unboxing video?!

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 21, 2015 7:38 PM CT

I’d love to Jason, but that thing weighs a ton. I’ll try to put together something tomorrow. The base is out, I have to get some casters and make a rolling cart so I’ll inbox the actual unit and show what this beast looks linked. All 361 pounds of it!

MikeyBMember since Dec 2014Nov 21, 2015 8:24 PM CT

Niceeeeee ChrisK,,, Unbox that Tiger and let’s take a look….

krutonMember since Jun 2015Nov 21, 2015 8:27 PM CT

Definitely a nice setup. You have a hell of a shop man, I’m jealous. Are you going to have to man handle that thing to the basement by yourself?

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Nov 22, 2015 5:18 PM CT

Damnnnnnnnn man. That’s a whole lot of sexy. Can’t wait to see her all setup

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 22, 2015 6:44 PM CT

Well no video that thing weighed a ton. I had my buddy Guy come over to lift the jointer onto the body. I can’t believe I got it into the shop myself but t am paying for it right now! Not assembled yet, I coated the whole thing in T9 and will buff it off tomorrow and app,y Renaissance wax and she’ll be humming in no time!!!

comp56Member since Sep 2014Nov 22, 2015 8:43 PM CT

I’m guessing a Powermatic 6″ jointer with the Helical Cutter head? Am I close? did I win something?

awesome chris there is a piece of wood out there that is special cause it will be the first piece of wood you get square with…..

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 22, 2015 8:46 PM CT

I’ve got 60 board feet of flaming birch waiting to go in this baby!

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015Nov 23, 2015 2:27 AM CT

Chris that baby is wicked awesome! When you go, you go all the way brotha! Another step closer to a happier retirement.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 23, 2015 4:28 PM CT

So….I’m stoked. I’m really, really stoked. This machine is a beast! The only adjustment needed was the fence was just a tiny bit off of 90 and was a piece of cake to adjust. The noise….I don’t need hearing protection. Absolutely awesome!

Video (YouTube)

comp56Member since Sep 2014Nov 23, 2015 6:14 PM CT

awesome video of an awesome jointer but do yourself a favor get yourself some push blocks that thing needs pressure down and in …..

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Nov 23, 2015 6:40 PM CT

Very cool chrisk u look like a very happy man using that awesome jointer.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 23, 2015 7:00 PM CT

Yup got the push blocks just didn’t use them on the video. Did do a face frame, the blocks work awesome. The jointer comes with two with the friction material. I might add a drop piece to act as an anchor when I pushe the stock through. Absolutely awesome machine!

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015Nov 23, 2015 7:18 PM CT

That thing is awesome! The smile says it all, and it purrrrs like a kitten. Great addition to the shop

NordrawMember since Dec 2012Nov 24, 2015 1:49 PM CT

Nice Chris. How do you deal with sawdust in the basement? Do you vent it outside somehow? Nice buy.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Nov 24, 2015 2:30 PM CT

Hey RC. I have a Grizzly air cleaner and two Festool HEPA units attached to most of the tools. The lathe and this guy will not be on DC. The jointer spits out chips so their is no dust associated with it. The lathe does have finer stuff but there’s not a lot of options out there. I’m actually going to have a small garbage can set up in front of the Powermatic to collect the chips as they fall out. When I move my shop into my planned outside shop next year hopefully, I will have a dedicated DC unit that will attach to all of my tools.
