Default Old jointer knives update

Read the manual again and I am confident that you will finfd it says 1/16"
overhang on outside edge .... to allow for rebating. Think about it. What is
the point of having overhang on the fence side?

But the manual said it was very important to have 1/16 inch of the
knife stick out of the cutterhead on each end. There is no way to do
this

Went to Sears awhile ago. Their blades for a jointer look identical to
the blades that came off my vintage craftsman jointer with one
exception, the ones at sears are 1/16 of an inch shorter. In my old
manual for this jointer, it says to let the blade overhang the
cutterhead 1/16 of an inch on each side. I could nto do that with
these. I am thinking it still might work. They are 24.99. What do you
think?

I think that you need to experiment -- and *think* -- a little bit

before
posting. _Of_course_ they'll work.
