My first jointer had springs, my second, jack screws.
With springs, it would take me close to an hour to get the knives set
properly after a sharpening. Now it takes me 10-15 minutes, YMMV.
As a hobbyist, I go through that ritual about annually. Personally, I don't
enjoy tuning machinery; some folks do.
