Planer Blade setting tool

[ZaydanVeo]

I’ve brought home an old school, largely cast iron, planer from my Dad’s shop. It’s been sitting for years since he passed.
Anyway, have not found a blade setting gage nor spare blades.
Since it seems many are switching to carbide insert cutter heads, I wonder if anyone has a spare blade setting gage they would part with. I’ve attached a pic of the one I have for my slightly smaller planer.

I get wanting the factory jig for resale value, but gauges for those old cast iron planers are tough to track down. I've had good luck with DeWalt Planer Blades for my own machine, and the quality has been solid, so a supplier like that might have something compatible or at least help you figure out a workable setup for your father's planer.
