Thread: Wixey digital height gauge

Yeah - I'm very fond of that one (and the others in the range as well).

I've also suggested to Barry (Wixey) through Grahame that they consider a TableSaw calibration setup. Seeing as they have 90% of what they need for an awesome kit already!

Even that height gauge as it is may be quite useful in that regard.

Once you go to measuring things to 1/10th mm, there is no going back!

I have looked at those height gages and a few other types. I wish that I could set the saw dado height to the nearest 1/128" or .2mm. I can usually hit 1/32" on the first try but with test cuts I can get to 1/128".

The router is a different story. Once I set zero height by feel then almost any accuracy is possible. In a hand held PC router I can easily set the bit height to 1/128" every time. The router in the (PRL from Woodpecker) lift in the table I can hit 0.001" or 0.025mm.

What I would like is something that can easily be attached to the saw, automatically KNOW where zero is and then be accurate to the nearest 1/256" or 0.1mm when blade height is adjusted.

OK, all you engineers out there, there is a need for a yet uninvented product.
