Default How about those add-on Wixey height gauges

A digital height guage for my planer and my router lift would be really nice if its repeatable. Wixey makes add-on guages for both applications. Does anyone have experience with either?

Thanks,

I put one on my 15" Delta planer 10+ years ago.. Fit is crotchety and
would get hung up.
I would not buy another one of those.

I am looking closely at the Wixey remote digital readout however and may
get one for my new
jointer/planer.

I would rather have a mechanical gauge. They attach to the elevation
crank wheel rod. It counts revolutions and parts of a revolution.

There is one offered for my model in Europe but I would want imperial vs
metric.
