Machinery set up at obtuse (outside) angles usually involves
a lot of trial and error. Table inserts that aren’t level, bevel gauges with
large radius ends, and miter squares with short blades are just some of the
demons that put the “error” in “trial and error”. Just finding a fixed-blade
reference for any angle other than 45° can be a challenge, and adjustable
miter setting devices require careful calibration and keen eyesight to see
those tiny angle graduations.
Woodpeckers PolyGauge SS brings a whole new level of ease
and accuracy to machine set ups for the five most common polygon angles, 45°
for squares, 54° for pentagons, 60° for hexagons, 67.5° for octagons and 75°
for 12-sided dodecagons.
In addition to providing precision-milled angles (guaranteed
within .0085°), PolyGauge SS goes further to get your settings right the first
time, every time. When setting miter saws or table saw miter gauges, your gauge
needs to be horizontal. However, a thin blade on a flat table can cause error
by resting against rounded fence edges and uneven table inserts. PolyGauge SS
takes care of that by raising the reference edges 9/32" above the machine
surface.
When setting table saw blades and jointer fences, the handle
pops off the center and becomes a magnetic base that holds the PolyGauge
perfectly upright while you have both hands free to adjust your machine.
Woodpeckers PolyGauge SS is laser cut from high quality
stainless steel, then the edges are precision milled on high-speed CNC
equipment. The foot that raises the tool up for accurate settings is made from
anodized aluminum and forms the central base for the magnetic handle. Icons for
each shape are laser cut into the blade to visually confirm you’re using the
correct angle. The plastic liner in the magnetic handle keeps the blade perfectly
perpendicular and protects it from scratches. Your PolyGauge comes to you in a protective molded case with
a custom cut foam interior for safe and convenient storage.
Like all Woodpeckers OneTIME Tools, the
PolyGauge SS is only made to order, manufactured in our Strongsville, Ohio,
production facility.
