I put one on my 15" Delta planer 10+ years ago..Â* 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.Â* They attach to the elevation
crank wheel rod.Â* It counts revolutions and parts of a revolution.

There is one offered for my model in Europe but I would want imperial vs
metric.
My planer, like all planers I guess, has a built in mechanical gauge. I
never use it. If I want to plane something to an exact size, say 3/8",
I grab a 3/8" open end wrench and use that to check things. Works
pretty good. I also use wrenches on my lathe if turning a tenon to an
exact size.
