I have a couple of jointers that need the knives changed too. I do mine after school or in the evenings or Saturdays, they pay me well to do it ($45/hour), still less than having someone come in and do it.
Oliver has 4 knives-22 1/2" long, the pressure/chip bar retainer for the knives is bent.My PowerMatic thickness planner is the spiral helix with 156 carbide cutters and joiner has 4 6" knives. Corp pays an hourly rate based on my extended contract salary plus mileage if I have run for parts.
