THANK YOU, THIS HELPS A LOT VERY CLEAR AND CONSISE

A old video on the process, but remains one of the best explanations.  I too have an old 1960s Rockwell 4" jointer I inherited from my dad a couple years back.  The only improvement on the process was a magnetic knife aligner I got for it.  Do yourself a huge favor and get a set of thin wrenches too!  It is a tight fit getting at those blade bolts.  ;)

I'm in the middle of building a new cabinet/stand for it and plan to cleanup the jointer, possibly even give it a new paint job.

Thank you so very much! I recently acquired a 6" Craftsman jointer and have been wondering how to adjust the cutting blades. All the other videos I've seen are done with cutter heads that have adjustment screws. Mine, like yours, has no adjustment screws. You explained the process really well.

I just bought this jointer at a yard sale and I can't thank you enough for these videos on this jointer. I picked it and a belt/disc sander for $80. Definitely a steal and I'm excited to get them up and running!

I recently picked up a 1950's Beaver Tools 6" jointer that the exact same design as your jointer, so this is perfect! I'm fixing it up and after sharping the original blades (although getting new ones, on order) I want to still get it running so will follow our instructions.
I probably won't keep this old machine forever, but it is nice to get old iron up and running!

Thanks, I inherited the same jointer and decided to fit it to my Shopsmith as the accompanying motor was not in good shape. It's been sitting in a damp garage for 15 years so it was quite rusty. So today I decided to get all the rust off and I will be sharpening the knifes as they are not in good shape. Seeing this video will help to ajust the knifes the right way the first time as I have never done this before. Thanks again, great video.

Very helpful thank you.

I used your method replacing the knifes on my Rockwell jointer, it worked well and took very little time to do. Thanks for your video.

Thanks for a great video. I thought I knew what I was doing, but your way of doing it makes way more sense and will result in greater accuracy.

Really good video. I bought one of these about a year ago for $25.00 from a gentleman who had an under powered motor with it. I am fixing it up and I was a little confused about setting the blades as the manual was unclear. I needed a small jointer and this fit the bill. Great video and I will look at your vid on sharpening the blades. Thanks again.

Thanks for the videos on this old jointer! I picked up the same one and you helped me to sharpen and reinstall the knives.

Another very well done instructional video! Nice jointer, now that you have brought it back to life! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent tutorial thank you.

Very clear, helpful instructions. I just replaced the knives in my old Jet JSL-6J 6 in. Jointer.  Working great now. Thanks!

Very helpful video. Thank you. I recently bought a Rockwell 37-220 6" jointer on CL for 100 bucks. It's in great shape, too. I just need to sharpen the existing knives and/or buy new ones - I think I'll do both. Anyhow, your video will help me set the blades in correctly and more importantly have them leveled to the out feed table. Thanks, again!

Thanks for this great video. I feel more confident doing it that way.

This is a great video. I feel like I can tackle this now, when I had no clue before. Thanks!!

You're my go to guy for advice. always in depth explanations.  Bought the HF saw blade sharpener after watching your video.  Happy New Year!

Fantastic video. Thank you for explaining this in detail!

Thanks  great job
