This is the video Jacob Mics the belt he had sold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki137yIxzxg&t=145s If the belt is a little different, I am certain it would change the speeds a little since those speeds were based on the SS Belt. I ended up getting a belt from shop smith which I found to be w...

I have not used chemicals on the Jointer Deck Parts, the paint on them are really nice. I have been just using WD40 and scotch brite pads.

EDITED to add the picture and correct numbers Nice collection that is obviously cared for well. I know I have a collection and depending on the choices I will...

Dang... that is good information indeed... I know the 5 I just ordered looked wider than the 7 set I got with it. More tools to figure out how they work. 101 much appreciated indeed.
