Is that the right part number? I went to sears.com and they had a
different number and they were 24.99?

I should have mentioned that I bought these about 10 years ago. They may
not carry them now or changed the part number. I still have the box. I
store the old blades in it. I figured that some day I might have them
sharpened. Anyway, the writing on the box says "Fits all craftsman 6 1/8
inch jointer/planers". YOu could take one of the old knives down to your
local Sears and compare them with what they have. I think thats what I
did.

About the missing guard. To me, that would be a show stopper. I wouldn't
want to run it without a guard. Jointers are scary enough even with a
guard.

Figuring out that the bearings were bad was easy. They went crunch crunch
when I rotated the cutter. They are a standard size. I took one to a local
bearing supply house and they sold me equivalent replacements.
