Hi,
I bought a used Grizzly jointer yesterday; OK price ($175), and it seems to be a sturdy machine. Problem is the knives have some nicks, and the guy couldn't locate the setting jig. I can easily get good edges joined, but wider pieces may be a problem. Using a straight edge and the jointer table for reference, can a person change a set of knives without a jig? Also, will a few small (1/16") nicks go away with sharpening, or should I plan on a new set?
Thanks,
Scott
