Adjustable Plane Blade Calibrating Tool for Woodworking Tools - Key benefits - Precise blade height and alignment: 1/8 inch blade heads with leveling blades allow accurate setting of cutting depth and blade height for consistent results. - Time saving and reliable: simplifies mounting and tuning plane blades, reducing setup time and improving repeatability. - Secure, tool-free positioning: uses adjustable mini magnets to help install new blades in perfect alignment and keeps blades stable during setup. - Durable and practical: built from high-quality material with high strength and hardness for long service life. - Compatibility and scope - Fits all brands and models of smoothing planes, rabbet planes, combination planes, and thicknessers. - Suitable for use with both standard planing blades and jointer blades. - Construction and performance - Each blade is accommodated within a frame that integrates magnets for secure attachment to a cutting head. - The magnetic frame design enables quick placement of the gauge over the cutting tool and facilitates setting the correct tool height. - The tool uses high-performance magnets to maintain blade alignment during installation and adjustment, with a blade length held at 20. - How it works - Place the gauge over the cutting tool, align the blade within the magnetic frame, and set the desired height using the leveling blades. - The frame's magnets grip the blade head securely, allowing for precise height and alignment adjustments without slipping. - Use scenarios - Scenario 1: New blade installation on a smoothing plane or jointer. Use the gauge to level the blade accurately before final mounting. - Scenario 2: Replacing blades on a combination plane. Align multiple cutting heads with the gauge to ensure uniform blade height across all cutters. - Scenario 3: Fine-tuning blade height after sharpening or changes in blade packs. Quickly re-establish precise height to maintain flat, even planing results. - Scenario 4: Routine setup in a workshop with varying blade sizes. The universal compatibility and 1/8 inch blade heads support consistent calibration across tools. - Practical notes - Designed to be a straightforward, reliable calibration aid for professional and hobbyist woodworkers. - The device emphasizes stability and precision during mounting and adjustment of hobelmessen (plane blades) without introducing complexity to the workflow.
