Freud jointer blades for Jet JJ-6csdx

[Mark Ottenheimer]

I have been looking at replacing the knives on my Jet 6inch quick change jointer with Freud blades or something better. I am having an issue finding the correct ones to fit. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi there. I have this same jointer, and have not found any aftermarket blades that will fit. The knives are somewhat special, being a bit thinner than most 6" jointer knives and, most importantly, they have the thru-holes and machined slots for the quick set system.

Replacement knives are costly from the OEM, \about $50 a set online last time I shopped (some stores charging as much as $79) - but those prices are dated to about a year ago so YMMV. If memory serves, the powermatic jointer with quick set knives uses the same blades. The replacement set I bought was labeled as powermatic, and seem to be of better quality than the set that came installed on the unit from the factory.

If you do find another source, please share :)

Cheers,
Andrew

Have you tried Freud C350 blades?
