The Ryobi lunchbox thicknessers have a similar setting jig. Comes with them when purchased new.
Those were the droids I was looking for.

I have the type 1 micrometer style blade setting jig, but I use it in the same way as the type 2; ie I reference the outfeed table to set the blade height. I have found that a fair few jointers have tables that aren’t 100% coplaner with the cutter head.
However, you can get away with just two flat pieces of wood and nothing else. Yesterday I set the knives on an old Emco Rex combo machine which has a non-adjustable outfeed table made from sheet steel. The blades were raised and the head rotated to their peak height, then I used the timber to gently push the blades into position until the timbers were flat on the outfeed table and the blades just touching. The locking bars were tightened up and the blade projection tested by the old method of laying the flat timbers over the cutter head and gently rotating until the blades picked them up and moved them a couple of mm. Both timbers advanced by 2-3mm per blade showing that they were pretty much parallel and there was sufficient projection above the outfeed table.Last edited by Chief Tiff; 20th January 2019 at 01:15 PM.

blade tightening
I have been tearing my hair out for the last hour trying to get the blades tightened without them moving. I have just seen Chris Park's post saying that filing the screw end flat will remedy the problem. I will try it in the morning, I hope it works Chris because I am just about ready to dump it at the tip tomorrow!!!
