I know this isn't shave related but...
I'm setting up a jointer that hasn't been used in over 15 years and abused for years before that.
It's was a gummy, grimly thing that had wrong bolts and broken parts to boot.
not sure how it was used to do anything.
Anyway.
So I'm gonna see if I can get this thing WORKING RIGHT.
I've cleaned and lubricated the unit and installed new blades, parts and bolts.
I didn't have a persission straight edge that would work or a weighted dial indicator to do the job right.
I thought the straight edge I have would do, but it's not up to the task tolerance wise and my dial indicator is for my table saw and router and has a ball point insted of a flat plate.
So I'm waiting on ...

Designed for setting exact height
adjustments of jointer knives and accurately setting jointer cutting depth.
I already have a persission square I use to set square on other equipment, so I'm good there.
I've never set up a jointer before and seeing this one was a hot mess before I cleaned it up, well....
Wish me luck.
