Looked good Brian! The only thing I wonder about is the order of locking down knives. Shouldn't you have them all installed before you really tighten them down?

Thanks for going through the effort of putting together a movie!

It's probably best to remove one at a time, sharpen it, then reinstall. This is where sharpening your knives yourself has its advantages.

Brian, very well done video.

I had a whole bunch of other stuff ready to post about how it didn't work that nicely on my jointer, but what can we expect from a HF clone. That's right, not a clone of a good jointer... A clone of a clone:gar-Cr

Any one need a "good" jointer?:gar-La;:rotflm::gar-La;:rotflm:
