Wolfenden Jointer
Hi, I've just finished restoring an old Wolfenden jointer and on the face of the fence, there's a slot. I've seen this in varying forms on a number of older jointers but never on new jointers. Can anyone tell me what these are for? Circled in attached pic.

If that part is missing get a metal worker (unless you can do it yourself) to mill a piece for you with a tapped hole in the back for a threaded rod, then get a wing nut (or nut and spanner) to tighten the piece once in position
The piece that is made will then slide down the rebated slot in the fence and extend down to meet the outfeed table, this is there to prevent slim thickness of stock from sliding under the gap in the outfeed fence.
BTW Nice job of the restoration

Thanks for that. Good to know. And thanks for your comment re the restoration. I hate seeing youtube videos of 'restorations' where they just indiscriminately spray paint everything including cables and the motor along with all the bolt heads etc. I stripped this jointer to the bare metal. It's for sale, BTW. I was going to keep it but found a 16" jointer to restore.
