This thing makes changing joiner blades a breeze. I have an old Craftsman joiner and the instructions say to set the blades .003" higher than the outfeed table. This is not designed to do that, but it does set them at TDC - provided you follow the instruction that came with the Joiner Pal. And it is easy!

I waited way too long to buy this knife setting jig. I have a couple of vintage jointers and I always set the knife's myself because I am just that good...lmbo. They ain't never right. After building a very nice piece of furniture ( Twice ) I broke down and convinced myself that I should buy this jig, maybe it might help, Maybe. OH GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN, This jig worked so fast and WELL, I was mad at myself thinking you dummy you spent hours trying to set knife's and this jig did it in just a few minutes. If you don't have a machine that auto sets knife's get yourself one or even two just in case.

Easy to use and it gets the blades pretty close, but there is still a little adjustment with my set screws to slightly raise or lower the blade. For the price, its worth it but its still not "set it and forget it"

It works, not much more needs to be said. Made my life a bit easier. Now I just need to work on my woodworking skills... it doesn't help with that unfortunately 😕

Knife changes on my fussy old Craftsman jointer used to take three hours minimum. With the Jointer Pal I was able to swap out knives in 30 minutes, most of which was spent knocking out the old ones. Alignment was pretty good -- nearly as good as doing it the old-fashioned way. This inexpensive jig has turned a dreaded ordeal into a routine task.

I finally decided to change my jointer blades (after changing my planer blades and seeing the amount of tear out go to virtually zero). Without this jig the process would have taken a lot longer and may not have been as accurate. I do pretty high end furniture work but I'm not convinced that you actually need a dial gage. . . we'll see after I get a few hours in on the new blades.I'd buy this again in a second.

This Jointer Pal worked perfect, it has strong magnets to hold it and and blades in place. Well made and a great price.

Works well enough. They are not as solid as I would like and you have to make sure they are parallel before setting your blades. For the price you get what you pay for. I’ll use them for now until I can afford a metal set.

These worked Perfectly. I recommend them. I have had nothing but trouble trying to get a perfect set up for my blades and this did it.

Works as advertised. Made hours of tedious measuring by offering a repeatable process that enabled accurate set up of the jointer knives
