Thanks Mike. I use a Sony Digital-8 recorder and a cheap microphone and extension that I got from RadioShack. I'd like to buy a hidef camera, but I need to find a job first. :^) I enjoy making these videos. For the most part they have been woodworking tips only. I might on the next one actually make a small project and film as I go. Who knows. -- -Mike- |

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 |

The jig is holding the blade on the right and left, so it's level. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

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." :-) -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

As Mike pointed out, the jig does a good job at holding the knives flush with the outfeed side. It also prevents skewing as you tighten the gib bolts. I have seen DIY versions of this magnetic jig. It seems like a relatively easy one to make on your own with a few rare earth magnets and a chunk of flat wood. DAGS for more info on making one. |
