Hi,
I just acquired a very OLD Delta Rockwell 6 inch jointer (free). It is approximately 50 years old. I fixed the motor (bad contact in the centrifugal switch ... thanks Creekers for the motor thread), and now it runs great. Just one problem ... the guard is missing, and from reading the threads on jointer safety, I think it is wise to get one before using the jointer (even though every time I look at it, it begs me to run a board through it).
Does anyone know where I can get an after market or replacement guard? There is a hole in the bed to accept one, so I would think that I should be able to find one that would fit ok?
Thanks,
Phil Giangarra
