Product Information:

Battery Not Included. Uses a Duracell CopperTop DL2032 - Single Battery. Click here to purchase one.

Replace the inaccurate stock height gauge on your portable planer and stop constantly using calipers to check stock thickness! Most digital calipers only read out in decimal measurements, forcing you to do the mental math to convert to fractions. If your stock is measuring .575" and you need 9/16", how much do you need to remove with your next pass through the planer? With the Digital Planer Height Gauge simply lower your planer until the gauge reads .565 - 9/16. It can't get any easier! Unique gauge reads out both decimal and fractional measurements. Fits most portable "lunch box" style planers. Easy to follow installation instructions.
