Hi All,
I have an old Rockwell 4" jointer (joiner?) that I use for edge jointing. I
acquired this tool from a neighbor. He said it was his father's tool and no
longer had a place for it. So I gladly took it off his hands.
Well, I need to replace the knives and I was wondering if anyone had any
ideas where to start. Google didn't get me very far. I read somewhere that
Delta makes them but I can't seem to find any.
The dimensions are 4" x 5/8" x 1/8"
Thanks,
Brad
PS- Is there a difference between "jointer" and "joiner"?
Fantastic! Thanks for the link.
So long,
Brad

Yep, joiner is a woodworker in Britspeak, or a biscuit in Dewalt.
I got mine from Amazon - Freud, I think.

Rocky served me well for many years.

IIRC
A jointer is a machine
a joiner is the person running the machine

The Shopsmith jointer knives are about that size. Check with them.

services.

Found some at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/552316/002-5280997-1768016
Also: a joint function is when the joiner turns off the jointer, goes
into the house and turns on the SWMBO. :-)

For technical assistance or service parts:
USA - (800) 223-7278 Canada - (800) 463-3582
I bought one of these used some time ago and was able to buy the knifes,
knobs and adjustment scales and markers right from Delta(the old
Rockwell) I still use mine and have a backup one stored that was my
Father-in-Laws that is near perfect save for needing to sharpen the
blade's.
BTW, get yourself a knife setting gauge unless you're comfortable doing
it by hand, the old way. And make sure you don't run it with the outfeed
table set too high. Delta as a FAQ on their site that covers setting up
the jointer.
