JOINTER KNIVES INSTALATION USING DIAL INDICATORS
After seeing a number of setups and procedures on the web that are used to set jointer knives. I thought that the best methods were the one that used a dial indicator. I designed a setup using two precision 1-2-3 blocks and two dial indictors.

They are parallel within 0.0002”, flat within 0.0002” and square within 0.0002” they are also case hardened. The 1-2-3 blocks that I was looking for were the perforated ones having both tapped and plain holes. These blocks have 23 holes through them, 5 of the...
