Description: Planer and Jointer knife setting jig. Professional dial indicator type. Set your knives within a thousandth of an inch end to end and within each other. Once frustrated with the lack of repeatability of the magnetic gimmicks and other corner cutting methods you will appreciate the accuracy, ease, and repeatability that a quality gauge affords and realize it is well worth the money. If you want the best performance from your planer or jointer you need the kind of repeatable accuracy this quality made gauge enables you to achieve. Plus, the frustration element is eliminated. YAY! I believe life is way too short for avoidable frustrations. Aluminum jig made here in Pennsylvania USA. Dial indicator is an import with an accuracy of .0005" To use: 1-First disconnect power from the machine. 2-Loosen the thumb screw on the indicator to allow bezel to rotate. 3-Set the jig on the cutterhead away from knives and knife slot and rotate face to zero. 4-Tighten thumb screw to lock the bezel. 5-Reposition the jig over the knife and check it's projection. 6- Adjust knife progection to manufactures recommendation, (often 1/8" or .125"). 7-Snug gib screws -8-Rotate to the next knife and adjust it until target projection is achieved and snug up those gib screws. 9-Rotate the cutterhead and repeat this with all knives. 10-Go back and tighten all gib screws gradually, tightening each and then rotate to the next until final torque is achieved to manufactures specifications on all knives . 11-Double check all torques before energizing the machine. This process of gradually tighten each knife gib screw and proceeding to the next prevents cutterhead distortion.Dozens of these have been sold to satisfied customers who report that their time spent lessened and accuracy is vastly improved by it.Jig profile and indicator stem attachment may vary from picture. Includes a brass tipped set screw for securing indicator and hex key. The smaller version of this is useful for 6" and 8" jointers as well as some 12 & 16" planers.
