Default Router depth gauge

I have one of these and don't like it. It is very difficult to read.

For my router I use a set of brass bars of differing heights.
For me it is more accurate to feel when the tip of the bit is
at the top of a half inch brass bar than checking the ruler for
a half inch.

I also use my combination square the same way the trend gauge
is supposed to be used.

I was pondering whether to buy one of these,but how does it work on a
router table?when the depth is normally set by standing it on the base
plate of the router.

Is it the same process but standing it on the table surface and
lifting/lowering the router till the tip of the blade touches ruler?


Yes


I'm talking about the trend depth gauge.

Thanks
