Age of Rockwell jointer?

I think those are from the late 60s and 1970s.

I concur with Loren rockwell/delta 37-220 BTW you can find the cutter head on ebay. One just sold with knives for $80. Shelix also still makes a head for this jointer if you want to go all the way bot $385

-- Who is John Galt?

blades stuck… as in, the actual blades themselves unmovable? or the cutter head and/or bolts that are not working with you?

-- The Carpenter Bee is derived from the Ancient Greek word wood-cutter "xylokopos/ξυλοκὀπος"

Jason – Your 37-220 was made between 1964-65 and 1972. Prior to 64-65 the base they used was the deco style base (not sure exactly which year they changed). Starting in 1973 the logo was changed to the Rockwell “peace sign” logo. If you find the serial number it can be narrowed down to the exact year it was made.

-- Tom Finnigan - Measures? We don't need no stinking measures! - Hmm, maybe thats why my project pieces don't fit.

Holbs- The bolts holding the knives in the cutter head will not turn for nothing. I haven’t tried to get the cutter head out yet.
tefinn- I did not know what model it was, it doesn’t seem to have a tag on it anywhere. I’m hoping the 220 part isn’t about voltage because it had a 110 plug on it when I bought it and thats what I’ve been running it on.

-- Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

That is a good looking machine, I’ve always liked and end mounted fence on a jointer. I’m sure you’ve already use a penetrating oil on the bolts so I won’t suggest that but have you tried using an impact drill driver on it. That might do the job, they work wonders on seized up lug nuts.

Jason – The 220 is just part of the model number. I don’t know if you have a manual for it yet, if you don’t, this one would be the same.

I have the Rockwell/Delta 37-220 jointer. I have also wondered how old my jointer is. Here is my serial numbers if anyone could help me. Thank you!

Kroil is a great rust breaker. Aero kroil is a spray can. Better than PB Blaster.

-- Brad in FL - In Dog I trust... everything else is questionable

Fully restored with a helical cutterhead! Not bad for a 52 year old machine.

Good looking machine. Even if you have to buy a new head I thing you did good for $100. Lol
If you can pull the head and can’t get the screws out perhaps a machine shop and bore them out and retap the holes. At that point upgrading to the $400 head that was mentioned above might be comparable
