Yes, Bar Keeper’s Friend is crawling its way up the list to join WD-40 and duct tape as indispensible items. Good video. Thank you. (I just bought this jointer online.)
I just picked up the same one a few days ago off market place $50 with base ,same problems rust and fence and tables, blades dull, motor works great belts good , wasn't it fun adj all 3 blades ,took me like 3 hours to get them just perfect, but like you said cuts great now
Those grinding marks left in the top of the top of the tables are there from the original grind which has that surface within .0005 ten thousands. They will help hold wax to keep the boards from dragging. Nice job on the resto.
I just got this same jointer two days ago and I’m restoring it now . The only thing I have had any problem with is that there’s two little plastic caps, one on each side of the motor that say oil on them . I’m sure that it’s for adding oil and I am reasonably sure that it takes sae 20 oil . My question is how much to add to it ? If you know please let me know . Oh I loved the video by the way . Great job and the jointer turned out great .
Thanks for checking out the video. From what I found the manual says The bearings, in both end shields of the motor, have been lubricated at the factory with €orrect lubricant. NO Other part of the motor requires lubrication. Re-lubricate motor bearings in accordance with the instrgctions on the nameplate. Be sure to wipe off dirt or grit if present around oil hole caps to prevent any possibility of foreign material contaminating the oil wicks that supply the bearings with oil. Use a good -grade of medium weight mineral oil, such as automobile engine noii, SAE 20. I can not get to mine right now to check out the nameplate, Sorry.
@@KLRform I did a little research and found that it just needs to get about three drops of oil in each hole every month or two depending on how much you use it . The most important thing is to not let the wicks dry up. I just used some 3N1 oil and called it good .
Great restoration video! I bought this same exact jointer. Did you have any problem removing the blades? My machine runs great but when I went to change the blades they are so rusted in, I haven’t been able to get them out no matter how much PB blaster I’ve thrown at them. I got the lifter screws removed but when I go to pry up the wedge next to the old blade, it won’t budge. Any ideas? Did you have any problems?
Great job on the restoration!! I am in the process of restoring one as well. Bummer is I am missing a couple of the Plunger / Pin Stops on the fence end. (21440 & 21430 in the manual) Is there any way you could shoot me some close up pics of these in the fence??
Friend of a friend gave me this exact model. Thanks so much for the video and the tip about there not being a helical option for this model.
Good luck with yours

I had no idea about Bar Keeper's Friend until I was looking into this project - it was awesome!

Thanks for the info!
When you pulled the tables all apart; were there any adjustments, or places to put shims. Mine is high on both ends.
I had a question is the power head a three prong or two thank you
Not that I can remember. Sorry

Awesome thanks for letting me know!
I just got the same one. Any chance you guys could show how to change the blades and get the in-feed and out-feed tables coplaner?
I will take a look at the coplaner part. I had some footage of the blades but lost it. Will see what we can do.

Sorry no. I didn’t have any problems getting the blades out.
Do you know of any replacement parts for these? My safety fence broke
I didn’t find any when I was looking.

I will have to find a manual and see what part that is.
that looks more like an 8 inch joiner!!!
I wish it was.
