Colleagues: I have an older Sunhill/GEE TEC 15” planer that I really do not use much anymore as my local mill closed. Blades still cut very well – even thickness, boards easily move in/out without hesitation. But the blades will eventually need sharpening/replacement. From talking to others, the job is not exactly easy and is/can be time consuming.
I have been told to purchase a jointers/planer knife setting jig like: https://www.infinitytools.com/planer...e-planers-pair
Do they actually work better than the OEM knife setting gauge? I dread trying to adjust the chip breaker and/or rollers.
Thanks for any insights.
