Joiner blade setup - Durden Junior
Hi I just acquired a "Durden Junior" joiner, rewired it and cleaned off the rust.
The joiner blades are held in place by a steel bar with three set bolts. I have a fair idea of how to set th blade height level with the outfeed table.
But my question is a really basic one - does the blade sit against the forward edge of the blade slot or the trailing edge?? and do the set bolts tighten against the blade or the slot?
I'm also trying to work out what the sliding fence would have looked like. I've got some of the accessories but not that.
anyone got some pics?
thanks
Matthew

G'Day Matthew
All jointer and thicknesser interchangeable blades that I have ever seen are set up like this....
The cutting blade is set against the leading edge of the "blade holding slot?"
The "steel holding bar?"is then placed BEHIND THE CUTTING BLADE
And then the heads of the locking NUTS ARE WOUND OUT and tightened against the BACK edge of the blade holding slot.
This cause the holding bar (the thing with the nuts in it) to clamp up tightly against the actual cutting blade and hold it in position.
MAKE SURE you have the nuts set good and tight, as you DO NOT want the blades etc to come loose during operation
(be very careful not to strip the bolt heads If you do it's an absolute $%&*!!^% nightmare to get out!
I was once ready to kill a "trainee" who did just that )
Actually now I come to think of it ... I have always just installed the blades back into a machine the same way they have come out and never considered really weather or not the blade sites against the leading face of the cutting slot or the trialling (back) edge of the cutting slot (you might have to wait for some more advice from some one else on that yet) But I am ABSOLUTELY certain about the restMay you be half an hour in heaven before the devil knows your dead!
