They have changed the model numbers over the years, but its the standard 12.5 inch 3 blade planer that they have been making or decades. I need to replace the blades, but adjusting them is a bit of a pita. I have heard rumors that there is some sort of a magnetic tool that is a quick no brainer for setting the blades, but 2 of my local tool places, and the local delta service center haven't been able to help. Delta has sold a couple of different tools over the years, but I am looking for something quicker and easier than the Delta versions

You're right, setting knives on that planer is a PITA. I bought my first in 86. Converted to solid carbide knives which last longer between sharpenings.

No experience with these jigs, but I've used similar and they help.

You just need one of these:flipoff2:
