   Bear,  there are 3 knives and they are 6-1/8" long.  Sears sells jointer knives at this length but I have not been by there to see if they match up to mine.  Thanks for any help.

   I just replaced the knives on my delta 6" for the first time. I asked people all over what size to use and couldn't get a specific answer out of anybody, including Delta (email).

   I bought a couple sets of Freuds, about $20 each, from Amazon. Same length as the originals, different width (5/8") though. That didn't matter because the cutterhead is designed with enough clearance for different width and thickness blades. If you can find blades the same width it will mean a little less tuning. So try to match the length and a width and thickness that will fit the machine.

   Jase--Is there a better way?
