Hello all! I just got my sharpened planer blades 15" back:D and i am going to be installing them. I have a set of planer pals to aid in my installation but i wanted to check the infeed rollers, out feed rollers, and chip breaker to make sure everything is correct height. I bought the planer used and am not sure if everything is aligned. Does anyone know how much more should the infeed roller be set than the blades? Also should the chip breaker be set at the same height as the infeed? Shouldn't the outfeed rollers be set at the same height as the blades? I am going to be using a dial indicator. The planer is an older 15" jet planer if that helps? Thanks again.

Do you have the original blade gauge for that planer?
