I have the G0453 15" Planer with the 3 knives. I'm confused as to what the best adjustment measurements should be. According to the manual, Grizzly recommends one set of measurements while the Taunton Press video recommendations for planer adjustments to be a little different. For those of you that have the G0453 planer, what adjustment settings do you find work best? I generally plane rough cut lumber. Thanks in advance
