How would you use this with a planer blade? Planer blades have a slot in the middle that's bigger than the top clamp. Plus you'd have to take out the side clamps entirely to make it fit. So as far as I can see, there's no way to clamp a planer blade.
Also, how would you use this with a chisel that's narrower than the clamping stop (14mm)? The side clamps would bump into the top clamp before reaching the chisel.
Hi. Good points. My planer blades don't have slot and guide has just the right width for it (see pictures). And yes you need to remove side spacers to fix the planer blade which is easy to do as there are just 2 screws to removed In case of blade with slot you can maybe add a plate (3D printed) between the blade and the top clamp For chisels with small width (e.g. 14mm) you just need to print larger spacers. That's what I did for the 1st version of the guide (See picture) And for very small chisels maybe just remove the top clamp and block the chisel with just the screw Hope it'll help (edited)
