Craftsman Joiner parts Q & A
I got a comment this morning on a long ago post about my getting replacement cutting edges (they aren't called "blades") for my Craftsman Joiner from someone called 1Elsie. I had to go back and do a little research to get the information again but here it is:
The model joiner I have is 113-206932
That's a 6-1/8" joiner for which the engineers at work have gone and retooled almost all the head assembly parts. (See here for the diagram.) If you're searching for the cutters, they would be under the bed assembly subcomponents.
I haven't ordered any of the parts that I would need yet. The problem I have is only a tiny little nick in the cutter which leaves a very small raised bead when I use it. (Which isn't often.) Fine grain sandpaper is more than sufficient to remove this "defect" and costs a good deal less than the replacement cutters (part #54) or, need I say it, the entire cutting assembly (#53) which would require contacting a technician just to order.

Now THAT’S a Knife
I‘ve carried a Swiss Army knife in my pocket for years and find it useful in so many ways. The few times I either forget to pick it up when getting dressed or must leave it home (damn airport security!) I feel naked. Once, when I accidentally left my knife on my dresser, I had to run to the sporting goods store to purchase a replacement because…well, I just had to have one in my pocket.
My current pocket knife is the fisherman’s model has two blades, two screwdrivers/can/bottle openers, a Phillip’s head screwdriver, an awl, scissors, a hook disgorger, and tweezers and toothpick. Amazingly, I haven’t lost either of the last two in the four or five years I have owned this particular knife. In the past, they may have disappeared in the first month.
I love my Swiss Army knife. They manufacture a multitude of models for every taste but this one…well, it’s the ultimate knife! I give you: The Giant
