How to Rotate or Replace Segmented/ Helical Jointer Blades

Learn how to rotate or replace helical jointer blades. If your jointer is not cutting smoothly anymore and your blades have been worn dull you can easily fix it. The first thing you can do is rotate the segmented jointer blade because most of them have multiple cutter heads. If you have already rotated your jointer blades then it will be time to sharpen the blades or replace them. I will do a full cleanout of the jointer cutterhead and replace all of my jointer blades in this video. They are also commonly known as jointer knives and I will be replacing all of them on my Rikon Jointer. Once the new blades have been installed I have some important woodworking tips to share with you in regard to keeping your jointer blades nice and sharp. I hope you enjoy!

Good explanation man. I had a jointer with long knives and I was wondering if you somehow need to align these little blades on the spiral head when you replace them or simply moving the position. It's a lot of alignment with the long ones. It looks like they don't need any alignment though. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you

I have that exact Rikon 8". I love it! Thank you so much for the tutorial. Question: I coat it with T-9 Spray after every use. Is that okay?
