Where can I get a cutting blade for a Cbj-50 biscuit joiner

The Parts Schematic is here, but parts seem hard to come by. There is an address and phone number. By coincidence, I worked at a contract caterer in Pacific Circle in Mississauga. You might have to buy a similar screw at Home Depot.

The blades are pretty standard and are usually just sold by width (4", 6" inch seem pretty standard).

Biscuit/plate joiner? Or jointer? What make? What model? What parts? Check first with the manufacturer, then check with eBay. Depending upon the part, some may need to be custom made. Things like bearings, pulleys, motors, belts, knives, bolts, screws, nuts... they're all readily available as generic parts. Not so many parts are specific to a machine - mostly the castings, which are the hardest to find for an older machine. Sometimes a broken casting can be rescued by a VERY talented welder, but it has to be done VERY specially and VERY carefully or it'll warp and may crack.

They call it a "plate joiner".

Because of standardized sizes of biscuits, the only blade you can and should use, is the same size that comes with the tool. Anything smaller will not create the right diameter groove for the biscuits to fit properly.

I have seen directions online and they say you have to remove the fence also to access the blade

Here is a link to the owner's manuals page at Skil.: Skil OM
Unfortunately, you haven't listed the model number, and skil manufactured several biscuit joiners or plate joiners over the years. If the manual you're looking for isn't available to download online, there's a phone number listed on that link or you can email Skil to acquire older manuals.
I hope this leads you to the solution to your problem. Thanks for consulting the folks at FixYa!
