4" Jointer

Take a look at Jointer Pal. It's a brand of magnetic knife holder. I have one and it works fine on my 8" Griz. mahalo, jo4hn

I've got a similar one, here

are no markings on the motor I have, and I doubt it's the original (although it could be). The owner manual specifies a 1/3 to

1/2 HP motor with a 4" pulley so that the cutting head is running at 3500 rpm.

Thanks for the info, Dave. One of these days I'll get a belt and try it out. A 4" pulley might be a crucial piece of information.

------------------------------- The motor will have a standard 5/8" shaft, thus a std 4" pot metal sheave (Congress) will work nicely.

The same can't be said for the jointer.

Indeed. I can measure the pulley on mine if desired. I also have a PDF of the manual, Puckdropper.

I may request a copy of the manual later, but don't think I'll need it right off. Once I get it running, I may have more questions.

It's both. ;) Grey iron is malleable whereas cast isn't. Both are cast, though. Liken it to iron vs. steel. They work and machine entirely differently.

You don't want to get into a grammar war with me, I assure you. :-) Aren't you the guy who got into it with me over "none is" vs "none are?" Maybe it was someone else.

I was honestly asking about the difference.

I'm not questioning the veracity of that particular wiki page, however, one must be careful when providing Wikipedia is a source. You own quote applies, "The more people see it uncorrected, the more people (believe it)."

Wasn't I answering your questions with those links, Mike? That was the intent.

Incorrect data on Wiki is usually corrected fairly quickly.

Yes. I tried and failed to make that clear. Sorry.

I think we're on the same page. I was simply showing it as a modern comparison to the saying you used. When wiki first came out, I spent so much time correcting bad information that I got burned out on it. I'll say it's come a long way and is kind of like webMD, I'd use it for curiosity, but when I start crapping blood, I'm going to the doctor. :-)
