1940's Delta Jointer restore: re-surfacing planes

Follow
pocket83²

This video is the first of four. It's (mostly) about flattening infeed and outfeed tables. The jointer is some variation of a 6" Delta Milwaukee, model 37207. This is a very common machine to find on the secondhand market. This video series was designed to include all the information that I would have liked to know before restoring one.

●Replacement Setscrews:
These are found throughout the machine. Check local hardware store first. They have a ¼28 thread pattern; that means the threads were cut from ¼" rod, and they're spaced at 28 threads per inch.

●Diamond Sharpening Plates:
I will not provide free advertisements here, but simply search for "Diamond 5 Pcs Knife Sharpening Stone," and try not to spend more than 15 bucks. If you're shopping on the 'big A,' save the item to your watch list (without buying it), and then watch as the price magically drops over the next day or two. This is called 'dynamic pricing,' also known as scalping. You're welcome. I'm one of the good guys, I swear. You should also be thanking me for not putting midroll ads in this video, but who's counting?
