I have a General Model 1180 6″ jointer. (no longer offered by General Mfg). I am looking for a rear cutterhead guard…That is, a guard that covers the exposed cutterhead when the fence is moved over the infeed/outfeed tables. This guard would be in addition to the standard spring loaded guard that came with the jointer.
Does anyone know if such a guard was ever manufactured and offered as an option? I’ve placed several calls to General in Canada, but haven’t received any definitive responses.
Thanks for any help/insight.

When I need something that isn't available I make it myself. I've made these out of plywood and cobbled it with hardware found at my hardware store.
