I set aside a whole day to check/adjust the knives on both planers. I have a 6" benchtop model and a 12" Grizzly. Both have the jackscrews. I was shown this process years ago and it works well. I also like to check the middle of the knives to check for any wear or bowing. I clamp a stop block to the table, perpendicular to the cutters, so the back of the test board is always registered at the same position. I start off knowing it can be a royal pain, so I take a cup of coffee, turn on the radio, get comfy on my shop stool and calmly get to work. I found this approach allows me to finish around noon and keeps my blood pressure in check. Haha. Thanks for a great video.

Rob- Genius! I worked at a wooden boat shop for a dozen years and was faced with the same task. Came up with the exact same cure. Woah be the employee who messed up the knives on my jointer or planer. Had a six inch old delta for about eight years, replaced by a new eight inch, and a 18” wood master ( if I remember correctly) that I would run the parallel wooden “ rail” under the cutter head to adjust. Glass smooth surfaces on eastern Western Red 😊cedar and pine. Not in that order though, cause the silica in cedar trashes the blades where even hardwood wouldn’t get a decent finish. Being as we built red cedar planked boats, I got really good at changing blades! This procedure, if followed, will work on any non-segmented head machine.

finally a description that makes sense and i know works. taught the same way when i trained by my old gaffer. with experience and a bit of luck you can get the job down to around 10 mins max. i have seen so many youtube wood working geniuses that have no idea what they are doing and saying things like "snipe is normal". its because the one thing they don't know is to adjust the outfeed.

I tried this on my 6 inch with springs instead of adjusting screws and it worked well except that I also checked the knife heights in the middle and they were low. I discovered that the knives were bowed and ordered replacements. Since I inherited this machine I don't really know how much use it has seen or the history of it so the knives may just have been worn. As usual, great instructional video Rob.

Been in the trade 40 years, and that is how I change my 16"blades as well, though on mine it's a little trickier ss I have springs instead of those set screws. My 20" Wadkin thicknesser is easier though, it has a jig that screws into the spindle block. The springs then push the blades against the jig to the correct height. Nice clear instructional video as always

Great way to set blades. Unexpected challenge with my old Delta 8” (made after Delta moved their manufacturing to China) was getting the gib screws out. The supplied wrench was metric, the machine screws, imperial. Wrench was close, but not close enough - started to round machine screws. Found an open-ended wrench, discovered it was too thick to fit in blade slot. Found another wrench that was thin enough. Removed screws. Needed to replace screws - not available. Found a source that knew that the screws had not changed for decades so I could use screws for older (made in USA) models, Those screws were still available. Success!

@jeromegagnon3787 Год назад
you can use a thick piece of glass and strong magnets to hold the knifes flush to the table while you tighten them on those. its how i do my old rockwell 37-220. obly trouble on mine is not losing the grinded thin wrench. i always check afterward like Rob does with the stick trick. figured if it works on the handplanes to find where in too high it does too on a jointer. have to use all the tricks because vision starting to feel the mileage.
@csimet

@@jeromegagnon3787 Agree on the thin wrench. Haha. I bought a cheaper set of extra thin wrenches for that use and some other needs around the shop (like adjusting casters and leveling feet nuts). Another $25 well spent.

Mr. Cosman. Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a GREAT Tutorial on your General 16" Jointer. I have a Porter 16" Jointer, (even the same fence setup, and 3 phase motor). It does have the additional metal Oil Bath double row metal containers in the front though. Other than that, it has all the same, even down to the screw placement, as yours. It includes the "Porkchop" safety guard, and what appears to be exactly the same four knife cutter unit that your General uses. It is the Exact same type to learn from. Now I will follow your advice, instructions and finish putting the knifes back in the correct way. Thank you again. What a great job you do. Be well, and keep "Let's Get Working". Michael P.S. what grit do you sharpen Knifes to?

Hi Rob, I have recently purchased an old Powermatic Model 100 and need to replace the knives. I currently cannot justify the spiral head upgrade, so am stuck with straight knives.

Not sure where I learned your system but it was my least favorite chore until MagnaSet came out in the 80's for both the planer and jointer and on my 24" Powermatic planer it went from an all-day job to a 1 1/2 - 2 hour job, now ALL my machines have segmented heads, even my pattern cutter on my shaper. The noise reduction alone makes them a game changer.

Well there isn’t much to a helical cutter except making sure the out-feed table is even with the top of the cutting circle. If you are installing a helical after market, you must make sure the entire head is parallel with the out-feed table

So do you not need to do anything on the in feed table? I can't get mine to rotate without knives hitting my in feed table. And when I lower my in feed I have a elevation difference between the in feed and out feed of approx. 0.055". I thought maybe that was excessive? Restoring my dad's 6" Woodtek so I'm new to all this.

You didn’t show what you were looking for when you were testing to see if the outfeed table was at the correct height. Does the test block move, and if so, how much is good
@hendrst1918
@hendrst1918 10 месяцев назад
Of course this procedure only works if you have a jointer with an adjustable outfeed table. Unfortunately, small desktop jointers tend not to have that feature or blade height adjusters.

I have an old Craftsman 6" jointer with a fixed outfeed table. I don't think your method will work for me. Do you have any suggestions on how to set the knives on this machine? I do have a magnetic set up fixture. Is that my only recourse?
@RobCosmanWoodworking
@RobCosmanWoodworking Год назад
If you outfeed table is fixed then you have to set you blades so they are parallel to the out feed table and the blade is the same height of the outfeed table. A real pain. Are you sure your outfeed table wont move
@TaylerMade
@TaylerMade Год назад
the magnetic jigs are helpful but not infallible. my advice would be to sell it and buy a table with an adjustable outfeed. if you can't adjust the outfeed it really is just a giant paperweight.
@dustythejones
@dustythejones Год назад
I have the same question and probably the same machine. I wonder how much the measuring board should move once the knives and out-feed table are set? Should they touch it and not move it? Should it move 1/8”? Etc. Be strong and courageous!
@paulgraumann2774
@paulgraumann2774 Год назад
A cheap dial indicator on a magnetic base will help set the knifes to same height as fixed outfeed table. Simply zero out indicator to table base near edge next to knife, then move over knifes across bed until measurements on ends and.middle all match.This also can be used to set larger hand plane blades minus the 1st step.

Thank you for doing this video but you should think about your camera angle and how the camera operator moves. Because the operator for this video was terrible, moving too much right at the time it needed to be perfectly still and the angle sometimes resulted in poor lighting. Perhaps more than one camera for parts of the video using fixed angles with additional lighting. I know most people won't see any problems with the way this video was done but I had problems with being able to see some of the starting and ending points of the marks on the board due to too much movement. When a camera is moving even slightly there can be a small amount of blur before clearing up and this is what caused me problems.

I have an old Elu jointer and I used your same method to align the blades. I also watched this video that looks intersting. He uses springs to keep the blades up so he can align automatically them with two pieces of steel. What do you think? You think It is applicable to your jointer?
