A few years ago I scored an Atlas 4" jointer at a garage sale for $30. Anyway, it is now time for me to replace the knives. My local power tool store did not know where to find them. In an internet search I found Global Tooling that makes HSS 4" knives that claim to last twice as long and fit Delta, Atlas, etc. They listed them at $8.10, which is a third of the price of Delta knives from another source. I'm sceptical of buying something cheap from a place I've never heard of. Besides, I'm not exactly sure what knives fit this machine. I compared them to a set of Freud 4" knives, but they had a different cutting angle and were a different thickness.
Anyway, has anyone used Global, or know where I'd find good quality knives for this "antique" machine?
I love this good ol' machine, it is a good workhorse in my shop!
