It is designed for benchtop planers, but can be adapted for larger planers. I've planed a number of test pieces, and the gauge appears to be dead-on. It has an integral one-half-second calibration thing..... - so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:001601c79b5a$6db4b5f0$0501a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Who the heck was it that alerted pianotech list readers to the Wixey digital gauges? All of them are very, very nice. I also bought their calipers. They work great!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry Farrell<BR>Farrell Piano</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A href="http://www.farrellpiano.com">www.farrellpiano.com</A><BR><A href="mailto:terry@farrellpiano.com">terry@farrellpiano.com</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
