I have a Mark 5 unit that was given to me. It came with a Planer but the blades were gouged in several places. I ordered new blades from Shop Smith store along with a Planer Knife Setting Gauge that the sales guy recommended to set the blades. I got both items but it cam with no instructions on how to use it. I looked on the shop web site to see if I could fine any directions but could not find anything. Does anybody have any instructions on how to use the gauge to set the blades. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Re: MARK V Planer blades
Is it the 12" planer and NOT the 4" jointer?
I do not understand how it should come without instructions. Was it simply loose(no container)?
I am sure a pdf of the planer blade setting tool will appear shortly.

The gauge came in a small yellow envelope alone. I looked inside several times and even had my wife check it. it had the shipping label on the outside and I took that out but that was the only thing that was there. I tried to call and email Shop Smith customer service about instructions since last Monday but have not heard back from anybody
