Project Information

shop made gauge I made using some 1/2" BB ply scraps, a small piece of acrylic and some hardware I had laying around the shop. The scale I printed off the computer and glued into a shallow dado. I scribed a line on the acrylic so I can read the measurement made through a small window in the upper part. The middle slot is used to keep the upper part square to the bottom. I find it has many uses such as transferring measurements or setting blade/bit heights on tools. Building this has given me a few other ideas for shop made gauges.

what a great idea. You just gave me an idea for a router jig/template to cut dado's and rabbets. When I make it I'll be sure to give you credit :)
Where did you print the scale from?
