Jointer

Is the jointer working? When I tried to use it yesterday it would not turn on. The stop button apeared broken to.

I had a few extra minutes when I stopped by today so I checked it out. It powered on fine, but the cap had fallen off the stop button because a piece had come unscrewed. I figured out how to reattach it and it should be good now. It probably worked its way loose because you have to twist it to get the machine to turn back on.

Yes. It was a bit janky.

Those buttons aren’t really good for everyday use in powering down. If someone gets the diameter of the mounting threads, I can order something that would be more suitable, but still just as easy to use (and therefore as safe).
