I have a table top plainer i need to gauge new
Yes, there is only one way to do this right, or else you will have speed bumps in your wood. There is a gauge that rides on the knife drum, it is shaped like the letter C, has a bump in the middle, when you are setting the knives, don't tighten them up, just snug them, take your gauge over the edge of the knife, you want it to just touch it, not bump it or pull it, just shave it, snug up the keeper, go to the other end of the same knife, do the same thing, then go back, then go to the middle, then when it looks good, torque it down. Now do the other knife the same way. Make sure you torque them down, double check it. Use a block of wood to tap them in, and the lifter screw to pull them out. Those little 2 edged knifes are not worth diddly, you want a big, one inch knife in there. Something solid. Hopefully that is what you have. You can buy the gauge at woodworker's supply.
