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

About 10 years ago, I got one of the composite magna-sets -- turned out
it was completely useless as it was defective (warped or twisted, I forget
which). Took it back and after fussing with the blades went back and got
the metal magna set. After 10 years, the original cost is only a distant
memory and changing blades is a snap.
