Thread: Review - Wixey Digital Angle Gauge

Gidday Dean
Mate... sounds like a good option to go with the other one you reviewed recently always good to get choice and comparison so cheers for the efforts mate!

Now... I see you say it will do the table saw and jointer easily.. but mate will it do a bandysaw?... And most importantly of all... will it do the 15in thicknesser? blades? rollers? top and bottom infeed and outfeed?... a man just needs to know these things

Cheers again mate!! Well done

Yep will do a bandsaw no problem. Just make sure the blade is tensioned sufficiently so the gauge doesn't deflect it when attached etc. It will give you a fairly close estimate anyway. As for thicknesser. Not sure I see the benefit of using this over a good set of blade setting guides/jigs?? The blade setting jigs would be easier to use I suspect.

You can also use these things on radial arms saws, portable circular saws etc.

Cheers Deano well done mate

Good to hear that she will do a bandysaw... As to the thicknesser?... was just curious... alway curious about ways an means of sorting this thing... no wukkers mate its all good

Cheers

Great piece of gear - although I reckon that it reads tilt rather than angle (Meaning the angle from the fence of say a mitre saw), now if we could get something to do that as well - it would make those compound mitres a doddle.

Still! I must have one.

I got mine at the woodwork show, It works well and the BS, joiner, bandsaw which was set by a square spot on. I haven't used it for BS angles yet. While typing this I thought of the drill press, must check it too.
