Oliver 144 Jointer Knife Angle
Wondering about the angles on my 1936 Oliver 144 jointer knives. I have an old 144BD owners manual from a few years later and no mention of knife angle. Measuring the best I could and looking at the manual drawing, it looks like the knives can be ground at 40 to 45 degrees (included angle) and honed up to 50 degrees. If my measurement and drawing are correct, 50 degrees will still give a 5 degree relief angle. Sound right 144 owners?
