today we are going to restore this 4 1/2" craftsman jointer we start by disassembling the jointer for initial check and cleanup we clean up the machine with soap water, making sure none gets into motor or electrical system we clean the cast iron with 200 grit sandpaper, which quickly gets rid of all rust we apply oil to all moving parts
woodworking forum for sale, here we align the jointer blades, that we sharpened off the camera, to outfit table we use straight edge of hardwood stock to align the blade height to the same level as outfit table jointer blades should barely grab the wood stock pressed aginst outfit table now we need to align the fence with angle measuring gadget
all done!!! we run the first board through and realise that we need a push stick. what we did is dangerous without push stick, please don't use the jointer this way. great, the resulting board has two reference surfaces and all square
