Project Information
I make a lot of shallow dados on the table saw because it is quick and usually not enough to warrent setting up the router station. But, I had a problem getting the depth right. I always use a piece of scrap and I'd be too shallow and then go too deep because the table saw crank is not precise at all. I bought this drop indicator for $1 and thought I'd put it to use so I built this bridge style gage to clear the insert in the table saw for a firm base to measure from.
Now when I need to just go .015" deeper, I can count on the measurement of how much the blade really moved.
It is made from Oak, Brass, Corian and Aluminum.
cheers, Jim
