Wixey - Wixey – Digital Angle Gauge
The Wixey Digital Angle Gauge helps set blade angles with dead-on accuracy
Sep 01, 2007
If you’re looking for digital accuracy in your machine setups, check out the Wixey Digital Angle Gauge. With this gadget, you can dial in tablesaw blade angles, micro-adjust a jointer fence for precision, and adjust table angles on drill presses and bandsaws. It also works well to dial in miter cuts on a compound-miter saw. We checked the accuracy of the gauge using machinist’s angle plates, and its readings are dead-on. The angle gauge sells for $40 and is available from www.wixey.com.
