Straight to the point, clear and understandable.

Thanks you are the best!

I came looking for how to fasten the blades. So it just relies on the screws being tightened sufficiently to hold them in. That's what it looks like on mine, so just a confirmation. I like the great job you have done on restoring that machine, very clear camera and not a speck of sawdust to be seen.

7 millimeters is way too much. It's recommended to drag the straight edge like an 1/8th of an inch... which is around 3 millimeters.

Exactly what I was looking for and needed to know! Thank you sir!!

Man, thank you for the video. I thought I had to manually move the knife up or down, but wasn't 100%. Now I can finally get this old hunk of metal spinning.

Exactly what I needed to know, appreciate the video. Working on a 4inch atlas power king that needs new blades

thanks

Thanks I've been looking for how set knives on my old jointer finally I found someone to help

I bought one just like that new in 1976. Your technique for setting the knives is quite creative and should produce good results. I learned to set the knives off a pair of bar magnets on the outfeed table, just overhanging tdc of the cutter head. To finalize the setting, I would lay a sheet of typing paper on the outfeed table and run a large, fine stone across the paper, barely touching the running knives. Our shop teacher in grade 12 taught us how to do it. As long as the kerf is no more than 1/16", it will work. Over the years I went from the Rockwell to a General 6" and on to a General 8". The magnets still reside under its outfeed table.

your knives must out first because is just with machinery stone sharpet . you must taked manual with peace of sharping stone as second and with water .edge is et you full of wased metal

My outfeed table is not adjustable. So should I make my knives taller like you did?

Where do you find a thick straight edge like the one you use?

Thank you for sharing this method, I have tried it and got very good results from my old jointer, far better than any other jigs I have tried.

I used to spend Saturday mornings once a month doing the same thing which in fact is the old-school way. Many years ago I upgraded to a Tersa heads on my machines.

Thank you!!!!

this will take ages to set. set all knives with the head and then adjust the table

Buy a 30 dollar magnet jig. Be done in minutes and more accurate

Was just about to give up on my Dad's jointer.

This video was a lifesaver. I had kinda gotten to this solution, but your exact method made it much more clear.

Mate! Cheerz so much for this information. Bought a 2nd hand jointer with blades removed. Truely thank you for this as I would’ve not done it this way at all. Cheerz from down under NZ

Great video! I always dread setting my knives on my jointer! Simplified

this tutorial saved my ass, was 3/16'' from one end to the other, no wonder why my jointer was jointing like crap!

Make sure your outfeed table is not all the way up when you do this.

7mm ?

Super video, another solution. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6i4mameZ7dlqMU

Great video! I just picked up a Rockwell Model 6 yesterday, which has the same blade arrangement. Haven't been able to find a manual, so every little bit of info helps - and this helps a lot.

Thanks

This video was fantastic. Thanks. I bought a jointer pal but had horrid results out of it.

Hi Mike. So basically, if I'm just starting to make adjustments, I want to do this first before I mess with getting the infeed and outfeed tables coplaner to each other, right?

I just picked up this same jointer. Glad to see these old tools in use. This video was very helpful in dialing it in.

I wonder if that will fix my issues. Mine drags about 1.1 cm

Good video. Would like to see more about sharpening the blades and setting up the joiner. Thanks!

Thank you for doing this video. just got the used one, You make me happy how to replace the knifes.Thank you!

Thank you , Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!

Great video, thank you 🤜🤛

I know this video is old.......but thanks for the nice instructions. this is my last try.....if i cant fix it ...its going in the trash...........Thank you again......just one question..what was your starting point ? At the first cutting setting ?

I was searching for jointer knife setup and had to sub after seeing your name.

👍 👍👍👏👏👏🙋‍♂️Curitiba/PR/Brazil 🇧🇷 🇺🇸

Thank you - great explanation! Do you have a video on changing the spring in the guard?

🤙🤙🤙

This is the same way I set mine. very good job. But when setting one end you do have to make sure you don't do a seesaw effect on the other end.

Very helpful, very easy, thank you

Really good I like that!

Great video, thank you

Interesting way to set knives il give it a try.on the screws if you back then all the way out an replaced the flats will be in a different spot to grab with a wrench

Thanks Mike great explination I need to reset my old jointer blades this has being a great help
