I went looking for info on the blades (4). Here are some of the
apparent specification in case anyone would like to see them:

Technical Specifications:
240/460V, 60CY, 3PH
3 HP Motor
Knife Size: 16" x 1-1/4" x 1/8"
Blades Per Head: 4
Cutting Circle 4-1/4"
Table Dimensions: 96" x 21" x 32-1/2"
Fence: 52" x 5-1/2" x 45 Degrees
Rabbet Depth: 5/8"

I don't know what they cost, but maybe you can sharpen the
existing blades?


The blades presently on the jointer seem to be 12" long. I'd be hesitant to use it in that improper(?) way. The owners manual states to not install blades of width less than 15/16". These 12" blades may be of improper width, as well.
