Rigid JP0610 Jointer Knives

[TJVol]

I have a Ridgid JP0610 Joint and need to replace the knives. I went to Home Depot and they didn't have any and said they didn't think that they carry them. Have any of you found these stocked at Home Depot. Also can I buy another brand that will fit?

Thanks in advance.

Freud also makes blades that fit, just measure your blades, I believe you want the C400 which is 6 1/8" W, 11/16" high, and 1/8" thick same as the Delta X5 but measure your blades to be sure.

BTW if you find someone that sharpens blades the cost should be less than $20 and will be sharper than a new set.

As Wayne previously stated the Freud C400 works great, they are in mine right now. Amazon has them for $19.48, and they have a promo going on where they automatically subtract 10% on all accessories at checkout, so $17.53 and free shipping if you throw in something else so your order totals $25. Every once in a while Amazon has a great deal on Freud products, I grabbed a couple extra sets a few months back, if I remember correctly it seems that I got them for about $10 a set.

Ever think about changing out the cutter head to a segmented spiral cutter. Then when you get a nick in one of hte carbide cutters you just rotate it to a new cutting face (they have four faces each), no alignment required. Sounds expensive but by the time you bought four sets of blades at roughly $50/set you are better than half way to buybg the spiral cutter which has four sets of cuttiing edges included.

They are available for most of today's jointers.

Here is a link to one version, there are a coupe other designs such as the one I mentioned above.
