Belsaw Planer/Molder Help?

[Josh Hulit]

I have a Belsaw 9103. I have been using it for planing, but have some molding knives that I would like to run. I removed the 5 gib screws but cannot seem to get the knives to come out. There are also 2 alan head screws on the front side of the knives, do these need to be loosened? Don't have a manual, so if anyone knows where I could find one I would appreciate that too. Thanks!

Here is where you can download the manual in PDF. I believe you have to loosen the two screw, pound the gib with a piece of wood to "knock it down", then you can remove the knife.

good luck

I use a nylon faced mechanics mallet.

I struggled with the same thing the first time I changed knives in mine. Those wedges can really get locked in there.
