Thank you for the excellent post with some very good information.

In some applications, I like digital measurements. They can really be helpful with repeatability. This is true with the height adjustment on my thickness planer.

I’m not very enthused about digital height measurements on routers. The problem for me is that you only have repeatability until you change bit. I don’t know of an accurate and reliable way to make certain you have reinstalled the bit to the same depth as it was before.

I’ll look forward to someone telling me I am wrong.
