Installing Dispoz-a-Blades in 16" Jointer

[AndyPitts]

I just finished installing Dispoz-a-Blades in my new Grizzly G9953 16-inch jointer. The installation was not a walk in the park, but after some modifications I came up with, the job is complete and the machine works beautifully. There were significant obstacles to overcome and I thought it worth sharing how I overcame them. There is a writeup with photographs on my Facebook Page if you are interested. Here is the link:

Interesting.

What made you go with these versus say Estes?

Did you consider getting a shelix head?

The Dispoz-a-Blades from Grizzly are supplied by ESTA-USA. In fact, I first called ESTA before buying from Grizzly and they recommended that I buy them from Grizzly. Must be a marketing agreement between them. I had originally wanted the jointer with the helical head, but it kept getting back ordered and I needed the machine for a big job. The Dispoz-a-blades are cutting well, so I have no regrets and I saved a lot of money with the straight blade version of the machine.
