We are all looking forward to seeing those pictures that you took while you had the infeed and outfeed tables opened up.
I'll bet some of us have never seen what is in there.

I’m following a couple of used jointers. I’d be very interested to learn everything I can about them. Photos would be great.

Uh oh. I was having such fun working on it that I didn't take any pictures...
However, its not much work to split the indeed/out feed tables so I will plan on doing so and take some pics if time permits...
Thanks,
Geo

Thanks for the pictures, EagleTa2!
One comment about your statement about sharpening the jointer knives: "I hope the regular disk with a Velcro kit will work OK."
I don't think the Velcro disks are a good choice for sharpening steel- too much "give", and the knives may well catch and rip off the paper, or even melt the Velcro if it gets too hot.
I believe Shopsmith makes a statement to that effect as well.

Yup...that's what I had heard and was afraid of also...
I hope to keep them honed in the jointer after they've been reground.
Thanks

Oh My! Looks like I'll need to be getting a dust shute for my Jointer! I don't see one in all the stuff I got and it was not attached to the jointer. Must only be an accessory for the jointer.

How did you take the mounting screw out? That would have made it so much easier to reassemble the one that got shipped to me in two flat rate boxes.
Also, what was the configuration of washer stacks on connecting the two tables?

The mounting screw is really a dual threaded stud with a 3/8-16 hex nut on one end. Put the hex nut on the end if the stud and add the washer stack. The washer stack is comprised of 3/8 flat washers and spring washers. From the nut it goes flat, spring, flat, spring, flat.
Hold the washer stack to the nut as you use the hex nut to thread the stud through the out feed into the infeed table.
It should be relatively tight when you are done but not torqued down so tight that the tables can't move when you turn the adjustment knob.
I hope this helps...let me know if you have any other questions.
