Jointer Alignment Gauges
MasterGage tools help woodworkers verify the relationships that influence jointer results: infeed and outfeed table references fence squareness and applicable knife or cutterhead settings.
Machine Set Up
Jointer performance depends on correct table relationships fence setup cutterhead condition and the manufacturer’s prescribed knife or insert configuration. MasterGage tools can help verify relevant flat parallel square and height references. Disconnect power before setup work and follow all manufacturer safety procedures.
