The Oliver 4270 16" Jointer is ready for anything you can throw at it.  With ample jointing capacity you'll be hard pressed to find a job that outclasses these machines.  With a super long bed and a sizeable fence, your stock comes out straight and true every time,  A powerful Baldor motor gives you the torque you need to joint the toughest hardwoods with ease.  The solid cast iron base cements it in place, minimizing unwanted vibration and ensuring you the smoothest cut possible, while the noise reduction slots and optional helical cutterhead bring the noise levels down substancially.  It's Oliver tradition and innovation in full effect.
