Electric Planer Blade Alignment

[Ron Nossaman]

>I have a DeWald 12-1/2-inch electric planer. I'm having trouble getting 
>perfect (or nearly enough) blade alignment. The machine comes with these 
>two little plastic/magnetic jiggydoos that are supposed to allow for 
>proper alignment - and they come pretty close if you are real careful with 
>them. But even after doing the best job I can with these, one side of the 
>blades will cut a tiny bit off a board when the other side doesn't touch 
>the board. Anyone found a jig/method that provides better alignment?
