Power Tool Knife Gauge - JWP15HO-KG

Maintain the professional precision of your woodworking equipment with the **Power Tool Knife Gauge (JWP15HO-KG)**. This essential calibration tool is designed to help you accurately set and align planer knives, ensuring they are perfectly positioned for a smooth, even finish on every board. Proper knife height is critical for preventing "snipe" and ensuring the longevity of your cutterhead—making this gauge an indispensable accessory for any serious workshop.

Built with high-quality, durable materials, the JWP15HO-KG gauge is engineered for repeatable accuracy. Its specialized design allows you to reference the cutterhead body directly, ensuring each knife is set to the exact factory-specified height for optimal cutting performance and safety.

1. Safety First: Ensure the planer is completely disconnected from the power source.
2. Access the Cutterhead: Open the top cover or dust hood of your planer to reveal the cutterhead and knives.
3. Position the Gauge: Place the JWP15HO-KG gauge over the cutterhead. The feet of the gauge should rest firmly on the cylindrical body of the cutterhead, straddling the knife.
4. Adjust Knife Height: Loosen the knife locking bolts slightly. Use the gauge to set the knife to the correct height—the knife edge should just touch the center reference point of the gauge.
5. Secure the Knife: While holding the knife in the correct position against the gauge, tighten the locking bolts starting from the center and working outward.
6. Repeat and Test: Rotate the cutterhead carefully to the next knife and repeat the process. Once all knives are set, replace the covers and perform a test cut on a scrap piece of wood.

Compatible with select 15-inch stationary planers, including JET and other high-output models, this precision gauge ensures your machine operates at its highest potential.
