Default What are these screws for on this old craftsman jointer and another question.

As you know I have a vintage 50's craftsman jointer. There are 3 knives
in the cutterhead. Each knife is held in with 4 allen screws. But also
on the cutterhead in one spot are two allen screws on on each end og
the cutter. (Fence side and person side). Any idea what these are for?


Maybe they hold the cutterhead in place on the shaft.

The shaft does have two flat spots on it. Is that where these screws
are?
