Very simple and accurate. Would a couple of magnets recessed in the bottom help hold it in place? I’m going to put this on my to-do list. Thanks

Excellent job i have a height gauge that i use on my router table. However it would be nice to have one of those gauges . Thanks.

Great idea, I’m definitely going to make one of these. Thanks for the post.

Looks good!

Now you just need a flat disk on the bottom of the indicator to make it easier to find top dead center.

KevinVan: I thought of that too. I might add a couple but they wouldn’t do any good for the router table.

GaryK: Amen! Any idea where to get accessories like that? I haven’t tried looking yet but I’ll try McMaster-Carr and see what comes up.

Thanks for the comments!

Yup – McMaster-Carr comes through again.

There is a hole host of adapters on page 2240 of the catalog.

The best ideas are always so obvious once someone points them out to you. That’s why I like LumberJocks so much. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Chunk, this is a pretty good idea. I certainly will have to put one of these on my to-do list.

I have the woodworker’s version of this Chunky, similar to your aerospace model, but without the dial indicator. It’s a piece of wood that slides up and down in a dovetail slot and with a measure indicator. Some people think it’s sick to be obsessed, but we woodworkers all have one or more obsessions and I think it’s what makes the hobby interesting. Love your gauge. Waiting to see what you come up with next!
