installing/calibrating/using a Wixey Digital Planer Readout with a DeWalt 735 planer
Questions regarding the digital readout:
I've installed the readout on my planer and have several questions regarding its use.
*The instructions indicate that there is a need to only calibrate the thickness of wood stock once. Am I assuming correctly, that it refers to each time wood stock will need to be planed? The instructions are not clear on this point.
*The instructions also state adjustment to the absolute readout can be achieved by lightly depressing the absolute/incremental button. I've also watched a video regarding installation/calibration during which the woodworker stated the readout could adjust for errors in calibration, but did not demonstrate this feature. Does the readout have this feature capability?
*I made an error in the instalment of the bracket that holds the Wixey ruler. The flat spot on which the wood stock is placed is higher then the planer bed by approximately 1/64". I'm reluctant to remove the bracket for fear that it would be damaged. I also realize I can buy another readout and a replacement planer dept gauge rule, but that would be an additional cost. Any suggustions for a method to correct this installation error, if the readout does not have the capability to adjust for this type of error?
In advance, thanks to all who take the time to read and respond to this post!!!!
