    Default Oneway Multi Gauge in Australia

    Does anyone know of a place to get one of these in Australia? Buy Oneway Multi Gauge at Woodcraft.com

    Or is there a similar product or tool that can help setup jointer blades?

    Thread from the dead, Lewis, did you buy one of these and if so do you like it? In the video the magnets don't appear to be very strong when it slides off the fence.

    I ended up buying one but I haven't used it for a while. The aim was to use it for setting jointer knives. It was plastic so not the most durable tool but worked well enough for checking heights. I ended up making this for the jointer knives. Jointer Knife-Setting Jig - FineWoodworking

    If you want something with a greater measurement range, has a solid cast iron base and easy, to use try this one.

    I really don't get tools like that. How can they charge that money when you can buy this:


    Precision Dial Test Indicator Gauge 0.01mm 0-10mm + Magnetic Base Holder Stand | eBay


    Apart from the flat anvil they are functionally equivalent.

    But not functionally as easy to use off a surface plate or similar.

    That's EXACTLY what they are designed for ?

    The one you linked to isn’t designed for use on a surface plate.

    I have several mag bases and I still bought a oneway. And its not because I have a tool fetish.
