I came looking for how to fasten the blades. So it just relies on the screws being tightened sufficiently to hold them in. That's what it looks like on mine, so just a confirmation. I like the great job you have done on restoring that machine, very clear camera and not a speck of sawdust to be seen.

7 millimeters is way too much. It's recommended to drag the straight edge like an 1/8th of an inch... which is around 3 millimeters.

I bought one just like that new in 1976. Your technique for setting the knives is quite creative and should produce good results. I learned to set the knives off a pair of bar magnets on the outfeed table, just overhanging tdc of the cutter head. To finalize the setting, I would lay a sheet of typing paper on the outfeed table and run a large, fine stone across the paper, barely touching the running knives. Our shop teacher in grade 12 taught us how to do it. As long as the kerf is no more than 1/16", it will work. Over the years I went from the Rockwell to a General 6" and on to a General 8". The magnets still reside under its outfeed table.

My outfeed table is not adjustable. So should I make my knives taller like you did?
@mikeschmitz8355

I would just get a new jointer, honestly. You'll fight that thing forever trying to get it to cut properly. If that's not an option then I'd guess maybe shoot for about 1 or 2mm of travel so the knives are barely above the table.
