Easy to use - accurate - foolproof. I have never been able to get my hand plane blades dead on even across the mouth. My vision? who knows. This little gadget makes that a thing of the past. Try it - you'll like it. Plus - it only takes about a minute use.

he comprado no uno ni 2 medidores igagin y son verdaderamente de buena calidad, este es el primer producto que sinceramente no lo regreso porque no tengo tiempo de ir a la paqueteria, pero es sumamente inutil su funcionamiento escuche comentarios pero como casi siempre dejo de lado los comentarios y prefiero probar el producto y siempre me habia funcionado despues de ver como gente reclamaba por doquier mientras que yo casi nunca, pero esta vez si fue la excepcion, lo mismo que logras a puro calculo con el ojo lo haces con este dispositivo con la diferencia que tardaras mas de 10 veces y jamas quedara parejo puesto que cuando alineas segun esto la navaja queda con la misma altura mas no con el mismo angulo ya que la navaja tiende a irse muchas veces de lado al realizar el ajuste aun sean milesimas por tal motivo jamas quedara exactamente con la misma medida de un lado que del otro sino me crees es muy simple compruebalo por ti mismo y veras que cuando lo tengas recordaras muy probablemente esto, no se necesita ni siquiera ser un muy buen ebanista para esto, pense me ayudaria como todos los productos igagin que he adquirido pero este desafortunadamente fue la excepcion...

I ended up not using this anymore.I had high hopes due to the recommendations from Stumpy Nubs but it's disappointing. If you plan to use it for setting up your plane blade protrusion as Stumpy said, don't bother. It's not accurate/consistent enough. I recommend you learn how to set it up the traditional way. It's not that hard. I'm just an amateur and didn't take me a lot of time to get a hold of it.

I love using hand tools, but always had difficulty getting a consistent result. This has been a game-changer. Very, very effective!

Seems good quality for the price. I honestly thought i would use it but yeah i haven’t. I just set my plane blade on-top of my wood and advanced ot. Completely unneeded. Might work well for jointer blades but not so much a hand plane. Dang you stumpy nubs woodworking

I'm pleasantly surprised by how useful this is. It is especially handy for squaring the plane iron to the sole. When I bought this, I wasn't sure if I would use it very much, but now I find myself reaching for it every time I set up a plane.

This little tool SEEMS to be stupid, but it really makes setting of hand planes easier, eliminating the tedious steps of, adjusting the iron, making a test cut, readjusting the iron, making another test cut, all done without the having a reference point. Use this gauge, set the lateral adjuster so the iron is set parallel to the sole of the plane and then .....plane. Dead simple. This tool may work for setting jointer blades, but I haven't tried it yet.

I got one of these sweet little gauge for Christmas from my wife, well, it was on my wish list, and I love it.First of all, I was very excited that my planes were set up very well with little deviance between the left to right measurement of my planes and all of them were very close in depth of cut. It's nice to know that your setup routines are consistent ... the only problem is that every time I stropped my blades, pulled them to clean the edge of pitch, etc. I had to go through a long, painstaking process to get them back to that point.I was able to reset my blade in both depth and consistency across the base in about 1/10th the time with this tool.It's going to be a huge time saver!

The gauge itself exhibits lateral "play" in the stem that moves up/down, and the resolution of the readout is on the order of 0.001 inch because of this. Typically, the protrusion of the hand plane iron (blade) from the sole of the plane is on the order of 0.003 - 0.006 inch for fine work, and the gauge repeatablility of +/- 0.001 tends to be a "large" fraction of the desired setpoint. I have found that a functional and consistent methodology is to place the gauge stem "downstream" of the plane iron (e.g., behind the blade), with the magnetic "bridge" straddling the protruding blade, and then zeroing the gauge readout. I then slide the gauge forward and allow the stem to ride the taper of the blade until the stem is centered on the blade edge. I then record the reading. Repeating this procedure at the left and right ends as well as the middle of the blade provides the most consistent indication of blade protrusion across the plane. And so, although the gauge is functional, I would have preferred if the gauge stem exhibited less lateral "slop" which perhaps would eliminate the need to zero the readout prior to taking each reading.
