There could have been greater accuracy in the jig if the height adjusting screw had fine threads and tighter tolerance. You're not going to like having to loosen the top knurled knob Philips head screw in order to zero the graduated cylinder. I think it would be better if it came with a friction fit knurled knob that could be set to zero rather than having to lose You should include in the instructions for the jig the number of graduations per graduation on the side of the height. The result is 0 because it can't be calculated. The 00304 inch or 0. 004 inch is equivalent to Quite a bit of work was done with gauge blocks to bring down the graduation to 0772 mm. Despite the fact that it is described as a "vernier" in the ads, it is in fact not. A stencil of 0 is applied to the cylinder. It is assumed that there are two graduations (15 mm), but the two graduations may not be exact matches. In actual use, it might not be much of an issue. Since the magnet that holds the blade rotates when it is adjusted, it should not rotate when the height is set. The jig is usable, but the best way to use it is to learn how to use it. Is a design that could be improved.
The quality of these tools is comparable to that of chinese tools. I would call that There is no similarity at all in the vernier between these two, and the scale is only useful as a relative measure. You can either use the feeler gauge to adjust the height of one or pair them with a piece of cutter head that does not have a knife slots. It is adequately constructed, but if you have an older style cutter head with springs under the knives, the springs are strong enough to remove the neodymium magnets from The overall quality of these is acceptable, but the bad humor is amusing.
It is useless to have a gauge on them. My method for getting the plungers to the same height (50 thousands for my 20" delta planner) was to place the jig on the cutter head in a place where no knives were present, then used a gauge to set the plungers to the same correct height. My camera was locked into place after that, and I used them on the usual basis. No issues. Easy to operate. In my opinion, this is a 10/10.
The blades are very easy to set up on them. In this case, the tape scale is not something I trust. So I set one side, then adjusted the other side until they matched and locked them in place. There is a lack of high quality person tools, but this can be used for other people. The purpose for which a document is intended.
Getting the blades set up is a very pleasant experience. You get nice, smooth boards the first time.
If I make use of an extra blade on the bed and adjust by eye, I can adjust my joiner blades more accurately. It's important to me that everything is perfect.
You can use the dials to make sure the blade is level at all times. There is a problem with the dials, although if you are clever and know how machines work you can make them work, but you can't rely on them.
By setting your depth, magnetically locating your feet center and holding on to the plainer head, you can find the perfect depth. In the next step, the blade is lifted to the guage magnet, where it is held as you tighten the blade. Having a system for setting and calibrating all the blades at the same time would make things much easier.
