The Oliver 4255 12" Jointer is ready for anything you can throw at it. With a whole foot of jointing capacity you'll be hard pressed to find a job that outclasses this machine (just in case you do, Oliver makes a 16" jointer as well). With a super long 92" bed and an ample 60 3/8" fence, your stock comes out straight and true every time. A powerful 5 or 3 horsepower motor gives you the torque you need to joint the toughest hardwoods with ease. The solid cast iron base firmly establishes the quality of the machine, while the noise reduction slots near the cutterhead ensure that you can hear yourself think, "Wow, now this is what I call a jointer..."
