I got a good deal on an old Powermatic Model 50 Jointer yesterday. Happy birthday, me!
Anyway, it's missing the porkchop guard. Looks like no big deal to make one or two, but I need some help. Can someone with a similar 6" Powermatic measure their porkchop guard so I can replicate it? I have access to a machine shop, but was just thinking plywood would be sufficient.
Also, I'm interested in a euro style guard, but have never even seen one outside of a video. Has anyone ever made one? Pitfalls? Things to look out for?
Thanks for the help.
