Be Prepared! Spare set of Jointer
Knives can keep you working
through emergencies
Set of three hardened steel knives, precision
match-ground to Shopsmith’s exacting require-
ments. Our rigid quality control standards
ensure that every knife blade will be exactly
the same size, with the same precision edge
bevel to guarantee accurate cuts, even if used
in conjunction with old blades! Once the blades
are ground and honed to produce a keen cut-
ting edge, they are treated with a special rust
preventive solution for lasting serviceability.
We recommend having a spare set of knives
handy at all times, in case of accidental nicking.
This way, “down time” will be kept to an absolute
minimum, and you will be able to continue work
on your project without interruption.

urethane coating repels moisture while a unique

rust and corrosion.

Jointer Tips & Techniques
Two tips for jointing highly figured woods
1. Wipe the board with a damp cloth a few minutes prior to jointing to
soften the wood fibers.
2. Attach a long, shop-made, wooden wedge (4˝+ high is preferred) to your
Jointer Fence that tapers from about 2˝ thick at the infeed end to about
1/2˝ thick at the outfeed end. This Fence will force the wood to cross the
Jointer Knives at a slightly skewed angle, resulting in a smoother cut.
