Planer Blade Replacement and Height Adjustment (Belsaw 9103)

In this video I replace the blades on a Foley Belsaw 9103. I am not sure of the age of this tool but it is solidly antique. In this video I down you how to remove the gibs that retain the blades and then how to adjust the height of the blades on the new blades using a g 23325 Knife setting Gauge. Then finish off the video planing some 2x6 t&g made from yellow pine.

Thank You! This was one of those things I would have never hoped to find anywhere -- and yet was soooo valuable. Bless you for making this video!

Thank you so much for making this video after watching it for about two minutes I figured out what I’ve been trying to figure out for a few days!

This was awesome. I admire you for taking the time to share. It's exactly what we needed.

We always use Emory cloth on the holders and make sure they are clean so wood doesn’t pack in there. Chippers are worse for that than plainers but it can still happen we use a magnetic holder for the knives so they are in the proper position

Thank you! ive been beating on an old rusted Craftsman thinking it was just the rust making it stick together. I wasnt sure where to push and where to pull. Thanks again!

I can't find the 23325 Knife Setting Gauge. Do you happen to know who the manufacturer is or a suitable replacement?

[@user-tp6gj6ch1v]

thanks man

[@davidsturtz1731]

snug your gibbs up just so blades are snug and wont fall out before setting the height. it makes it lots easier .

I have the same planer I restored it and bought parts from an old guy whose number I got offline but cannot get an answer now. Does anyone happen to know where a man could get parts now?
