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:004e01c79b5d$ba2095f0$9e02a8c0@memegpjijkavri" 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?
