Craftsman Jointer

Don’t see why you couldn’t make a wooden one. Study another joiner and copy what it has.

Ditto what Howie said or nylon or aluminium easily sawn on a benchsaw with a carbide blade. Have fun buddy. Alistair

Yeah, That’s what I was thinkin’, too; but, as a last resort.

Sears still supports most of the old jointers. Got to sears dot com and punch in your model number. Look on ebay, your old guard is out there somewhere. Good luck. I love my craftsman jointer. I mostly make small stuff but have jointed some 4’ + stuff with no problems.

I’ve got the same situation….just bought an old jointer, with a missing guard. I’ll most likely try to find a replacement I can buy. I’m not clever enough to make my own, but I certainly would if I could!

I picked up a Dayton 6” jointer with no guard so far I have had no luck finding one. I guess I am going to have to make one.

This “missing jointer guard” has come up a number of times recently. In fact, I have a buddy who just bought a used jointer with no guard. For those of you who have made a guard, did you do a project or forum topic on it? Can you link to it?

Thanks and good luck with your search. Might give Ebay a shot. I’ve been suprised at the number of used parts I’ve seen on there. And, if you see someone who is listing a lot of parts, “ask them a question” and simply say something to the effect that it looks like they part out equipment. Do you have part x

Good luck again.

Welcome aboard!!

I know this is hecka old but I think I found knives for your jointer:

You don’t say the age or model – Emerson or King Seeley? If really old I’d look to the classifieds on the Vintage Machinery website.
