    • Magnetic Digital Height Gauge

    • Reviews

    Multi-purpose and oil resistant gauge!

    Set the cutting height on your router table, table saw or other woodworking machines. It can also precisely align your jointer knives or even measure thickness (when placed on a true-flat surface). The strong magnetic base allows easy mounting to ferrous machine tables or fences. Accurate to within 0.001". Measurements are read in the large, clear LCD display to 0.0005", 0.01mm and 1/128". The stainless steel beam with solid aluminum alloy base keeps the digital height gauge steady while making height adjustments. It can be zeroed at any point. Max measurement height is 6". Extra battery included.

    Great tool! I use it daily (5/5), Oct 14, 2015

    By Mark Lambert (BRANDON FL US)

    This tool is one of the best investments I've made. Its dead-on accurate, eazy to zero and very accurate. The capacitive sensing technology is essentially impossible to break or go out of kilter. The magnetic base is firm and will keep the measuring foot on top of a sawtooth as you crank the blade height. The tip of the foot is tapered on the top allowing you measure height on multi-cutter router bits.
    I was so impressed with this that I also purchased the angle cube and an indicator for the planer. My parts fit perfectly off the tools with no tweaking. Its also a godsend when making rail & stile cutter adjustments.
    Buy this now, you need it!

    Basic digital guage (3/5), Jan 18, 2021

    By Eugene Fields (Macomb IL US)

    Better instructions needed. Battery easy to change.

    Needs an instruction pamphlet (3/5), Sep 8, 2016

    By Tom Rooney (Derby VT US)

    Should come with instructions. Also after not using the gauge for a few months the battery went dead. No instructions on how to change it though I'm sure I can figure it out. Other than those things it is very accurate.

    Entry level tool (3/5), Apr 27, 2015

    By Bob Kraushaar (Lawrenceville GA US)

    Not what I would call a precision instrument but accurate enough for woodworking. Time will tell as far as how well it holds up in the shop.

    Works as expected BUT!!! (4/5), Aug 25, 2020

    By Errol (Miami Fl US)

    Very easy to use, I don't like that you need a printer to see the the results.
    Was a bit disappointed to see there were no calculations for French Style Glass Doors. The center mullion (Stile) should be from top to bottom and the center Mullion (Rails) should be in two parts connecting to the Stile i.e. for the French Style Glass Doors.
    I wish that the Developer look into this and update the software so we can enjoy the additional benefits we so deserve.
    Other than those complain in question, it's a great Calculator once you enter the correct information.

    Looks good

    MLCS Raised Panel Calculator (4/5), May 6, 2014

    By Tom Sams (Dorchester SC US)

    Easy to use, accurate, nice print-outs that give you all the necessary information. Would have received 5 stars if: 1> there was a way to add additional cabinets of the same size. As it stands now every single cabinet has to be entered even if they are the same size. 2> If there was a cumulative cut sheet for the entire project. It would make larger jobs easier to sort and cut. 3> You could add cabinet information for the single door portion of the program.

    Newbie to woodworking (5/5), Apr 10, 2014

    By Hickoryknot (Watkinsville GA US)

    I couldn't build raise panels door without the calculator. Have completed three that look really good but none of them are prefect, yet. It is not the calculator fault, just learning how to do six different things at the same time is difficult as well as having to have everything you need at your finger tips. All the training aids from MLCS are very much appreciated and very helpful. I also like the raised panel door bits I got from MLCS.

    too simple (3/5), Dec 14, 2013

    By Richard Colman Sr. (Pittsfield NH US)

    I like to use 3/4" tenons, and 3/8" panel inserts. With this program they have to be the same. If you have to manipulate your dimensions after the program calculates sizes, might as will lay it out by hand to begin with.

    MLCS Raised Panel Project Calculator (5/5), Dec 24, 2011

    By Rance Bennett (Neenah Wi US)

    This little program is very handy. The instructions are a little lame but over all it was very helpful making my kitchen cabinets.
    Once I figured out the slot size including the space balls, creating the correct size door was a snap.
    In fact I have done over a hundred doors now and all were very accurate.
    I even made a raised panel filler panel with the MLCS Raised Panel Project Calculator that went across from one cabinet to the other with a valance below it.

    Very simple and easy to use.
