Default Setting Jointer Knives (A How-to Video)

nice job on the video--but a question: how do you know the knives are
level lengthwise, if you're only checking the midpoint of each knife?
thanks,
eric


That magnetic jig holds them at the exact height as the table.
The jig is holding the blade on the right and left, so it's level.


Ok--in my experience, tightening the gib screws can skew the knives...


Yeah, I hear you. I think the newer machines have better holders, but
mine moves around, too. I think the best technique for that is just,
"watch and hold it." :-)
