Inspecting Knives
The height of the knives can be easily and
quickly inspected with the knife setting jig. This
inspection will ensure that the knives are set in
the cutterhead as they should be. Usually this is
done before calibrating the outside table or when
troubleshooting.
To inspect the knives:
1.
Disconnect the jointer from the power
source!
2.
Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out
of the way.

Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper
operation of the jointer and is very important in
keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher
than the others, it will do the majority of the work,
and thus, dull much faster than the others.
The knife jig included with the jointer is designed
to set the knives at the correct height.

Carefully inspect how the jig touches the
cutterhead and the knife.
— If both outside legs of the jig sit firmly on
the cutterhead and the middle pad just
touches the knife, then that knife is set
correctly. (Repeat this inspection with the
other knives.)
— If the jig does not sit firmly on the cutterhead
and touch the knife edge as described, then
reset that knife. (Repeat this inspection
with the other knives before resetting.)
