I never heard of Wixey, but I do have a couple height gages I use in the
shop all the time. One is a digital I use for measuring the tool height
of end mills and drills in tool holders so I can enter the length in the
tool height table on my CNC mills. It consistently and easily gets me
within half a thousandth without even trying. The other is an analog
with a dial I use for most often on the granite surface plate for
accurately scribing lines on steel with a carbide scribe. Its probably
within a thousandth for that, and better for other things.

The key is to make sure the base is on the primary reference surface,
and that you zero to your height reference before measuring. On table
saw or router that would like by the main table top for both.
