Topic tags/keywords: jointer question

OK here goes with my first where to question. I bough a used Powermatic Model 54 planer this weekend. It is in awsome shape but needs a set of replacement blades. Where can I find those? When i do google searches all I get back are links for the Model 54A. Any help would be greatly appreciated…

All you need is the size. http://globaltooling.net/
This is the best buy you’ll find. I’ve used these blades for years.

How bout the 54a QC (quick set) knives? Anybody got a source for those. The QC knives have holes in them for the quick set eccentrics. With all the 54a jointers out there somebody must sell knives for these things, but I haven’t found them yet.

Wow, I just checked out the global tooling site and those seems perfect. Did you get the carbide tipped?

I just bought a Jet 8” Jointer/Planer combo machine. It came with HSS knives from the manufacturer
and I am interested in carbide tipped replacement knives. I have looked at some of the sites people
have suggested including http://globaltooling.net/. But I can’t find the size (8.25” x .65” x .06”)
anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Don. The model # is 707400. It is part of their new bench top line.

Hey Tom!

707401 is the # for the knives you are needing. They run about $30.00.

But these are HSS knives. I was wondering about getting something better. Perhaps
carbide tipped.

Amana makes a carbide tipped blade that should work great for you. The part # is: CTP-140 – they cost around $65. Amana blades are a bit pricier, but you really do get what you pay for.
