RayCo jointer

if the machine is one of the many delta clones out there, you should be
able to match up parts from a taiwanese clone. grizzly is pretty good
about parts, I think, and you can often get somebody on the phone
there. you may need the services of a machinist if it turns out that
the parts need to be modified a bit.

Thanks for the response. The RayCo Mfg site appears to be devoted to wood
chippers. I found that site when I acquired the jointer. No response to
email and no jointers on the site that I could find. The "industries"
site has never loaded for me. Anyway, so far I haven't found a parts
source. Thanks again,

JD
