| Adam |  Jointer Sharpening warningSeptember 9th, 2005 02:07 AM September 8, 2005 Jointer Sharpening warning I forgot to mention an experience that would be jointer maintenance performing people would do well to heed. When you're loosening the Gibb screws that secure the jointer blades, be VERY careful of the counter-bored hole the screws are located in! The word and operation of deburring seems to be used less and less as manufacturing pushes on. I was concentrating on not slicing my fingers on the blades of a display jointer I was cleaning, not noticing the razor sharp burr on the edge of a screw access hole. Almost lost the top portion of a finger. If you have a Rotary Tool (Dremel), it would be an excellent investment in your shop safety to "knock the edge off" the counter-bored Gibb screw holes. |
