Dimensions needed for Jet JPM-13 Planer/Molder part
 

I picked up a Jet JPM-13 Planer/Molder (Stock: 708526, Serial:7074953)
that is missing a few parts including the a couple of covers, knives,
and most importantly, the lock bars for the knives. These are the items
labeled 42 and 43 in the parts diagram for the JPM-13 at the Jet
website.

I would be grateful if someone would send me the dimensions of the lock
bars so that I could fabricate replacements, in particular, the lengths
and cross-section profile.

I would also like to buy aftermarket knives and would appreciate the
dimensions, especially the height, of those.

Thanks very much,
Bill Wetzel

Dear Bill:

I have sold dozens of this machine....it is a wonderful machine and
produces moulding with eaze,
Call your local Jet dealer....they can help you. I strongly recomend
that you buy the correct parts. The parts will fit correctly and there
will be no danger of "flying parts". It is just not worth the chance.
Many companys build knives that will fit this machine, including
William & Hussy, Belsaw, Woodmaster and others. The knives Jet sells
are very good as well.

Good luck,
Mike from American Sycamore

Also, the knives Grizzly sells for their planer/moulder fit.
