iGaging Snap Check Height Gauge for Woodworking Jointer/Router/Planar Blade

Accurate and easy to setup and use. Price was better on Amazon than other retailers - highly recommended if you want accurate blade depth/leveling on your shop tools.

THIS IS A GREAT GAUGE FOR THE JOINTER. I USED THIS IMMEDIATELY THE DAY I GOT IT. RE-TUNED MY JOINTER. GLAD I GOT THIS IN-EXPENSIVE MUCH NEEDED TOOL. WISH I HAD THIS YEARS AGO.THE MAGNETS HOLD IT PERFECTLY ON THE TABLE. I EVEN GOT 2 EXTRA BATTERIES FOR THE MEASUREMENT DISPLAY. THIS WAS A SMART PURCHASE!!

Works great!

I haven't actually used this yet, but having just unboxed it, I immediately saw an issue with the design: this comes with two anvils you can switch out: flat and a ball tip. I expect I will use the ball tip for my jointer and not sure when I would use the flat anvil. I am sure that I will lose this extra anvil flat tip in no time. It's so small and there is no where on the device to store it. It would have been easy for them to make an extra threaded hole somewhere on the device to accomplish this, but that doesn't exist anywhere.Fast forward, I went ahead and made my own (see second image) - drilled a 2.5mm hole in the plastic and tapped for M3 thread. Voila, holder for the extra anvil.

It does what it is supposed to do and does a decent job for the price. I seem to have to zero it out every single time I place it down even when placing it in the exact same spot immediately after using the gauge, which makes me question it's accuracy somewhat. It seems to be plenty accurate enough for woodworking, but I would not trust this device if I was a machinist. The plastic feels a bit flimsy and I wish it was heavier as it will only sit flat if you hold it or the surface is magnetic. Great for a cast iron table saw, not great for a milled aluminum router plate or job site table saw.I wish there were a similar item with higher quality. I'd happily pay $30 if the body were made of metal.
