Seeking 4" Jointer Knives

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"?

Yep, joiner is a woodworker in Britspeak, or a biscuit in Dewalt.

I got mine from Amazon - Freud, I think.

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

Try your local sharpening shop. The one in our town said they could get just
about any size, and the price and quality was good.

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. :-)

mahalo,

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.
