Old jointer

[Jason.p]

I bought this jointer many years ago. I fitted a motor and stand etc. but I've no idea what make it is, I can't find any identification Mark's. It's 6 inch and has 2 cutters on the block. As you can see it has no guard I made the crude but pretty useless one you can see. Can I get a guard for it? and can anyone identify it for me, just out of interest. Thanks

Ive got no idea im afraid, but you could make a guard out of wood.... easy to shape and it wont do any harm if the guard touches the cutters at some point.

Google vintage planer and see what you find

Try a short length of roof guttering. You get 3" mini flow from B@Q. I made one for my old planer as I managed to misplace it.

Had another look at photo. Is there a logo or mark on the top of the knob at the guard you made?

Looks like one of those saw tooth washers.... but good shout on the mini gutter. A couple of timber semi circles in the ends to stiffen it up
