So i just got my knife setting jig. Its the two "A" shapes with a bar between them. The blades are 15" and from what i guess, came with the planer. Its an AMT brand.
I watched videos and read how to set them but im having a tiny problem...i think. Maybe im too critical. With the jig holding the blades in by hand pressure,,,(spring type adjustment).... as i tighten the gib screws the blade raises enough to slide paper under the jigs feet. I can rock the jig ever so slightly. Sometimes one side, sometimes both.
If i set the jig on the cutterhead area with no blades, it sits with nice flush contact.
What should i do? Or is that tiny play ok
