Mechanical Surface/Height Gauge

The height gauge can be used to Router and Table Saw.

Height setting error is not higher than ± 0.1mm

###Required:

• M6 hex nut
• M6 hex bolt, 40, 50 or 60 mm long

###Maximum gauge height:

• 22 mm for version with 40 mm bolt
• 32 mm for version with 50 mm bolt
• 42 mm for version with 60 mm bolt

#Assembling the gauge

• insert the nut into the support
• place the knob on the head of the bolt
• screw the bolt into the support
• screw the heel onto the end of the bolt

#Calibrating the gauge

• make a mark with paint or a marker on one side of the support. For convenience, you can also mark the starting point arrow on the handle with paint or a thin marker.
• place the gauge on a smooth, flat surface.
• tighten the bolt with the knob until the heel touches the surface.
• by screwing in and out the heel and/or rotate the handle, ensure that in the 0 position the arrow on the knob coincides with the mark on the base.

#Setting the required height

• check the 0 position. If necessary, adjust it as described above.
• turn knob counterclockwise to raise the heel to the desired height. One turn of the handle raises the heel by 1 mm
• the marks on the handle give a step of 0.1 mm. Thus, 5 divisions (half a turn of the knob) = 0.5 mm.
