Planer Knife Gauge recommendations - DogwoodTales - 04-29-2025

I'm in the process of refurbishing an ol' Sears n Roebuck (Belsaw) planer.
I'm going to need a knife gauge for this thing when I get it running. Any recommendations?
thanks

Dogwood, I've got a set of those knife jigs you can have for the cost of shipping.  I used them when I had a Foley Belsaw planer but now have a machine with its own knife setting gage, so no longer need them.  Yours for the asking.
