Use the Black Series Planer Blade Setting Gauge to set compatible straight-knife planer blades to a consistent measured reference. Uneven knife height can contribute to inconsistent results, so the goal is to compare each blade position with the same dial-indicator reference before putting the planer back into service.

Best use cases

  • Replacing straight knives in a compatible stationary planer
  • Adjusting blade height across a compatible steel cutterhead
  • Comparing knife position during troubleshooting or maintenance
  • Checking a setup before planing finished material

The magnetic housing attaches to compatible steel cutterheads while the onboard dial indicator helps you observe blade position. Work methodically: follow the planer manufacturer’s knife-setting procedure, compare each knife at the required positions, tighten hardware to specification, and recheck after adjustment.

This gauge is designed for most stationary planers with three-bladed steel cutterheads up to 18 inches wide. It is not a universal solution for every cutterhead design. Disconnect power before maintenance and verify compatibility with your planer before use.
