Can someone let me know where I can buy new blades? They are 6 and 1/8th inch I think.

That sounds like a fairly standard size, so you should be able to find
them at the usual places. Woodcraft maybe, or even look at what Ridgid
has for their jointers. Sometimes tools use the same size parts even
though they're made by other companies. Amazon and eBay are good places
to look too.

Yep, I think pretty standard. The width is also important.

A 1950s vintage Rockwell 6", head only, no cabinet or motor, was given to me 2-3 yrs ago. Good bit of rust, but all seems well with it. It needs cleaning & restoring. I've asked someone in the know of motor specs for this jointer. I'll buy a new motor for it. Should make a good gift for someone.
