Replacement for a worn cutter guard spring
I was surprised when I removed the cutter guard on my jointer to find the spring was badly damaged from being over-torqued. The replacement worked exactly as expected and my cutter guard is now working like new.

Exactly the part needed for my 27 year old Powermatic 6" Jointer
This little spring for the guard on my Powermatic jointer seemed a little illusive. It was actually a search using ChatGPT that found it here. Part arrived quickly and worked perfectly. Very happy.
