OK, Today I'm in Holland, setting up a woodworking Hobby Shop. One of the recent additions is a GADH 200 Jointer Planer (Jointer planes flat, Planer planes to thickness) Yeah its cheap, sheet aluminum structure. I've been using it off and on for a couple of weeks, just to flatten warped wood, didn't think about depth of cut. I looked at it today, seriously and it's taking off 2 mm at a pass. According to the "gage" that's full depth of cut! I'd like to be able to take .1mm.
It has a knob which in theory moves the intake side flat up and down on a taper. Everything that can be loosened on the input side is loose, the plate moves a bit, but it will not move toward the cutter (up the ramp).
I've tried a sharp rap with a mallet, but no joy, it won't move.
I know it's early in the states, but hope there is someone here in Europe who can help.

Never mind, what I thought was the actuating rod is in reality the locking-in-place rod. Once I figured that out it was Bob's you're Uncle.
