A couple of weeks ago in my local advertisements a
DJ-15 was advertised for $450.00 in what the seller
referred to as very good condition. When I talked to him
on the phone he said he was selling to make room for
his new DJ-20. Is $450.00 a fair price for a 6 inch jointer that
was purchased in the early 90's?
Joey
Thanks for all the rsponses, but my hesitation was
too much. Someone with more money and more sense
than me has purchased it.

Just another price point (Philadelphia) from an ad in the newspaper.
On Saturday I bought a DJ-15 for $425 including spare blades and a
mobile base. It is one heavy #$%^&. We disassembled it into three
pieces and then moved it into my loft (second floor) shop using a
handtruck. I reassembled it, cleaned off the wood dust, installed the
new blades and adjusted the fence. It cuts like a dream, the tables
are level and straight and its so quiet. Considering that the Jet and
Delta 6" planers are now at $600 and off brands are $350 to $450, I'm
a very pleased owner. And the cast iron bed is longer on the DJ-15.

As a matter of fact, that's MY DJ-15. Well, actually it's a marketing
picture of it, but it's representative of the one in my shop, and
that's from my site. Thanks for visiting.

Hey Ed:
You are way off base on this one.....this jointer sold for over
$1000.00 when new....check your facts before you mis-lead someone.

Was he able to keep a straight face when he told you the price? He probably
paid about $350 in the early 90's. Today a brand new one with 2 year
factory warranty is $500 or so.
Ask him if he'll take your Pentium 90 computer as an even trade. They were
about $3k new.

Uh, the DJ-15 was a $1000+ jointer in the early '90s. Be happy to show
you the invoice from mine.

You suck.
And you break my heart. It appears I may not get out of my DJ-15 what
I think I should. Thank god I have a DJ-20 to lessen the impact.
You'll love the '15. I'd never get rid of mine if it weren't for the
'20.

It is for THAT 6" jointer. The DJ-15 is different than just about any
6" you'll ever see.

I would say a good buy for good used tools is 50% of retail. And that
is for excellent condition. Jointers (new or used) with a warped bed
is not worth 2 cents. A flat fence with no rust is important too.

THIS is a DJ-15:
<http://woodbutcher.net/images/tools/dj-15.jpg>
The tables operate like a DJ-20 or 30, not like your typical Chiwanese
machine. It also has a taller fence than most 6" machines.

Well, I think that's a steal. Especially since I have a DJ-15 that I
need to sell (for the same reason) and I think it's worth $700. Of
course it doesn't matter what I think, because it's sort of going to
be up to whoever has enough cash to convince me of something
different. That's what I'm aiming for, though.
It doesn't much matter when it was purchased (mine's about the same
vintage); it's the best 6" jointer ever made. I guess some would make
the argument that earlier ones made in the U.S. might somehow have a
better cachet, and mine and your sellers were made in Brazil, which
may be less of a cachet than U.S. made, but a better cachet than
Chiwanese manufacture.
All of those $300-400 6" jointers on the market now don't even
remotely compare to a DJ-15.
