Rockler's new gauge sets depth of drill, saw blade

In the pre-digital age, setting the precise height for a saw blade or router bit depended heavily on the eyesight of the user. It was anything but an exact science.

Rockler's new Digital Height Gauge makes it a snap. It offers the accuracy of a caliper in an upright form.

A solid steel base holds the gauge next to the blade or bit, and can be positioned with one hand. Set the caliper to the desired height and then raise the blade or bit to match.
