Wanted to make an easy to adjust and easy to read height gauge to set my table saw height and also my router bit height above table.  With the pin point accuracy of the pointer, you can split 64 ths when that scale is set.  The images show the 32 nd scale set to the pointer.  I Was able to use up a small piece of "Shedua"? wood given to me by an old friend and then decided to add a brass wear plate for long term usage.
