How difficult would it be to calibrate something like this? Wouldn’t how you set the bit in the router affect the ‘zero’ or starting point of the height adjustment… Sounds like a good idea, I’d sure like to see one before I bought one. -- "Checking for square? what madness is this!

I would imagine you set the bit to zero and press a button—same as a digital caliper -- Fred, Springfield, Ma |

With the way I’m always checking and rechecking the hight against my set up bars or the piece I want to fit, that gauge wouldn’t do me a lot of good. -- Gene 'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton |

Gene if you are that obsessive, check your set up bars, mine are about 1-2 thou undersized =-O -- Fred, Springfield, Ma |
