Installing a Wixey Planer Height Guage
.... *The only thing I can suggest is that you locate it so that you can slip a board under the gauge for calibration purposes.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I went ahead and installed it this afternoon. To calibrate it, I ran a
smooth board through the planer - taking off a small amount. Then I
just places that board under the bar and pressed the "Calibrate - On/
Off" button until the readout was zero. When I removed the board, the
setting of the cutter was on the readout. I checked it against a dial
caliper and they varied by 0.001. I'll take that kind of precision for
wood.
