I use to adjust my equipment pretty much the same way and it did take a while. Until one day and old machinist told me to take my measurements directly over the adjustment cams/bolts. This not only cut my adjustment time down, biy the accuracy in each adjustment was finer than the previously used method Each contact point can be thought of as a fulcrum on a leaver and does not move up and down only rocks over the contact point when the other adjusters are moved. Hope this tip helps you guys in the future. Have a good day...

Two twelve-inch right-angle drafting triangles ($6/ea) can offer a plausible alternative to an expensive long straight edge to check and adjust parallelism. With a triangle placed on each table flat against the fence, twelve-inch edge down, and the two triangles brought together over the cutterhead, parallel tables will bring the triangles evenly together along the entire vertical line. Any lack of parallelism will show as a gap between the triangles, increasing from the point of contact.

Wish I had found this video a while back.. one of the earlier ones indeed, I just missed it. Thank you for the way you explained ! Time to revisit my jointer setup.

Thanks so much. I've been trying to setup my jointer I just bought so this helps a lot. I ordered my dial indicator and it will be here soon. Thanks again!!!

Great explanation, thank you. We just got our first jointer so this information will come in handy.

@AAA-0

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. These presentations help me understand the machine and the process.

The hallmark of a great teacher is a great communicator. Learnt a lot from your methods. Btw, I have the same jointer and use the Oneway Multi Gauge to set up my jointer. Thanks for the info.

@MrBorisKGB That's the kind of success stories I like to hear!! Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear you are enjoying your new old jointer. :)

Fantastic tutorial. First one I found that addresses the front-to-back alignment. Plus knowing to adjust front-back near blades first, then address the ends of the I feed table.

@daltonn.lindd22

I know this is an old video but wanted to say it encouraged me. Been very frustrated with my first jointer setup and this has given me courage that maybe it’s possible lol

This is the best explanation I ever got. Thank you for this. May I also congratulate you're a good talker !! Never eu or silence.

Bought a Powermatic 6" jointer on craigslist, brought it home and used your video to set the new blades with the one way multi gauge. With the help of your video the process went relatively smooth and I now have perfectly level blades. Thanks for the tutorial.

Marc, Thank you very much for this video! I have a Craftsman Professional 6" Jointer and was getting horrible results ever since I bought it (used). You were right, I really was starting to think that I was doing something wrong. Didn't have a "one way" gauge but a $12 dial indicator from Harbor Freight, a Combination square and a c-clamp worked fairly well. The only problem was having to hold the square down to the table since the weight of the c-clamp would topple it. Jointer works great now!

I got an 8" jointer and planer, bought it for 100 bucks. Required a new motor, which I found for 25 bucks. Then a disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Now I got a working jointer and planer for much less than if I had bought new. I always recommend old iron if you are somewhat competent (or just willing to learn). It's a reward in itself. Only way I could afford tools like this personally.
