As always Jeff, very impressive work, and pace of work, too. I still get a clenching sensation when I see that square headed man-eating cutter block...

Got my parts from McMaster Carr to finish the guard. A piece of 3/4" tool steel, some shaft collars, a bushing, UHMW and and some bronze thrust bearings.
I started by boring a hole in the guard I made for the headed bushing. I then epoxied the bushing in place so it doesn't move. I cut the UHMW to size and attached with some bronze screws.
I cut the rod to length and round a radius on the ends. Waxed it with good ole' Gulf Wax and installed it on the jointer. I need to put one of the shaft collars on. The head of the busing will ride on the table.
My calculations were better than expected and whole guard clears the outfeed table. The UHMW pads don't touch and the thrust bearings I bought for shims are not needed. However if I made a heavy cut I might need them to raise the guard. They were cheap and it's better them just in case.
Just need an extension spring and to sand and finish the guard. This was easier than I expected,Jeff

Wow, that takes me back! My Dad bought an old dry cleaning plant in 1968 that had one of those Wagner motors powering a line shaft. It was name plated at 10 h.p., but I think it weighed over 700 lbs. We had a fun job dismantling all of that for the modernisation program.
There are still a bunch of old oak sheaves from that line shaft up in the attic in my brother's house, and my strop was made from some of that old belting.
I like that old advertisement, and wonder when was the last time The Literary Digest ever ran an ad for a piece of industrial equipment?

One Down, One To Go!
OK, not going to go through all the stuff I just wrote, if you want to whole story it will be on the web site shortly. Well it's there now, I just don't have it linked in. Great Pumpkin finished.
More latter, so sum it up to say:
98.2% done! I made quite a few chips today with it.
Left to be done are getting the electricals into a proper enclosure. Mounting the switch. A better rod for the return spring. Painting the stupid pulley I keep forgetting. And the inevitable tweaking.
I assume this is the point where I should do the Happy Dance?Jeff
