Nutool jointer

[sjweeks]

Hi every one, I am new to this forum and I would like anyone out there to give me information on a Nutool jointer I have just bought.

I am about to have the 3 blades sharpened and I would like to know the best way to fit them back into the machine.

Can anyone also tell from the photos below what model it is ?

many thanks
Stephen

Hi Steven, Yes it is exactly the same as the one I have recently bought. Mine is badged under the Winnmax label but is a Eastern version of the Rockwell jointer an American machine. I have just bought a manual for it from e-bay which was from the USA and I can confirm it is the same machine. I am not sure about setting the blades yet as they had been sharpened just before I bought it but from what I can gather it is a bit af f pig to do as there are no springs under the blades? I am not sure about this but they don't show any in the manual. I am thinking of buying a pair of the blade setting jigs from Rutlands for when I do need to replace or sharpen them to make the job eaiser. I have to admit I am very pleased with the machine even if it will only joint to 6"width. I do hope this helps. :wink:

Hi mailee,

Many thanks for your prompt reply, I have looked at Rutlands site and yes, I think the "Planer Knive Setting Jig" looks like the way to go, simple and safe.

Once again thanks

Regards

Hi Stephen

Welcome to the forum.

If you want to save yourself fifty pounds, have a look at this method for setting your planer blades.
