Planer blade adjust jig or jointer

thingiverse

I had a tough time setting my blade on my planer/jointer, so I bought a compact combo one. Next, I ordered a dial indicator from eBay. Made a simple design in Fusion 360; all I did was pause the printer to insert the rare earth magnets. Yes, you need those magnets so it will stay put. The magnets I used are 10mm in diameter and 3mm thick – I use two of them in each leg. The screw to hold it in place is an adapter from a RC plane motor, but the threads are 6mm, so any 6mm threaded thumbscrew will work. Hope you like my design!
