I'm curious if there is any consensus on the use of the magnetic jointer
knife setting jigs? Are they helpful? Worth $50 for the metal-bodied
one? Or $30 for the plastic one?

I have a Delta 37-190 jointer, BTW.

Thanks!

ps: search Amazon look for Delta Magna-Set or Woodstock Jointer Pal to
see these items

How about $3 for piece of hardboard, a few rare earth
magnets, and a little glue?
Use a forstner bit to drill a hole a little deeper than the magnets are
thick.

At least, that is what the cheapskate in me does.
