Usage
Woodworkers will find the Wixey Mini Digital Height Gauge indispensable for a variety of tasks, from setting the exact height of router bits to calibrating the blade height on a table saw. Its low‑profile design allows it to fit into tight spaces, such as the narrow gap between a router table fence and the workpiece, ensuring accurate depth settings even in constrained environments. The magnetic foot provides a stable platform on metal tables, eliminating the need for a second pair of hands while you adjust the tool, which improves safety and efficiency. Whether you are creating precise dado cuts, setting up a plunge router for a mortise, or fine‑tuning the height of a saw blade for a clean cut, the gauge’s clear LCD display and fine resolution enable you to achieve repeatable results. The gauge is also suitable for use on other equipment that requires height measurement, such as CNC machines, drill presses, and even hand‑held power tools, making it a versatile addition to any workshop or job site.
