Sears Craftsman 149-236223 4-1/8" Jointer/Planer Blades/Knives - HSS - set of 2

Description

This is a set of hard-to-find blades for certain old Sears Craftsman 4-1/8" jointer-planers.  They are an exact fit and will make your machine cut like new.  Blades are easy to change and to adjust (see below).
The blades are packed in a heavyweight zip bag individually wrapped in rust-inhibiting paper.
NOTE: I've had some if these blades manufactured in carbide.  Include "carbide" in your search and you'll find them.  Carbide is
much
more expensive than HSS, but they should last many times longer.  See the listing for them for more details.
These fit jointer-planer model numbers 149.236223 and 149.236220 and are reported to fit 149.236922 and 149.236993 and probably fit other 2-blade models.
They
don't
fit all Sears 4-1/8" jointer-planers.
To see if they will fit yours, compare your blades with the drawing shown in the pictures.  If your machine has more than two blades, these are the wrong ones.  The Sears part number for these blades is 2292-025-00 (sometimes written as 2292-25) -- you can find the part number of your blades in the manual for your jointer-planer, or on the Sears parts website.
The blades are 4.173" long, 0.862" wide, and 0.072 thick, with three slotted holes.
Sears says these blades are no longer available, but here at
exeye
, they are!

These
don't fit
all Craftsman jointer/planers!  Be sure to check your blades with the dimensions I have given!
I am trying to collect a list of model numbers that these blades
do not
fit:
113.206400    4-3/8" jointer planer
If you have a jointer/planer model that these blades do not fit and you can't find them elsewhere, please contact me with your model number.  I will consider having them made, or let you know where you can find them.

Notes about these jointer-planers:
Belts are also discontinued by Sears but replacements are available.  They are 120XL037 12" 60-tooth 3/8" width timing belts.  These are readily available, and I am selling these belts at a low-cost in another listing.
Motors are also a part that people are looking for.  Unfortunately it is a very non-standard motor and is no longer made.  I hear of two failure modes for these motors: bearing failure and cracking of the plastic case.  Bearings are a standard item and if you can get to them you should be able to ID them and buy replacements.  Case cracks are more serious, but I would try "Plastic Welder" epoxy which gives a pretty strong repair.  I do not plan on selling motors or parts for them.
I have a PDF copy of the manual for 149.236223 available free on my website.  Search for the model number, "149.236223", and "exeye", my eBay user name.
The manual has instructions for changing the blades.  The way I set the height is to adjust the infeed table to the same height as the outfeed table (zero cutting depth) then use a straightedge to get the two blades set to the same height across their width.  It only takes a couple of minutes.
