Hey guys! Pardon me for interrupting but I want in on the free beer. This is the best thread I have read in a long time and some of you have explained the calibration process better than I ever...

Thanks for all the offers! We have had more than 40 people offer to help and have picked 8 out of the batch. If you were selected, I just sent you an email letting you know.

I really do appreciate...

I haven’t done this for a while but I have a handful of prototypes of a digital drill press depth gauge and I am looking for a few Beta testers to give me some feedback. It involves attaching the...

Thanks Steve and Rich! This just the kind of advice I am looking for. My first thought was urethane, but the repair guy said that wouldn't stick. I have had great luck with oil based urethane on...

We recently purchased a new dining room table ( I know, I could have made one...) after receiving it we noticed that there were large square areas on the surface that were shinier than the rest of...

I thought maybe I would kick this up a notch since I am questioned daily about accuracy issues on table saws that use our digital readout. Most of the time the discrepancy is because the original...

Eugene. send me a PM here or try our email again digital@wixey.com. We answer all emails withing 24 hours and usually within an hour or two. Not sure what happened to yours. We have a one year full...

My wife does......

Danny. Now that's what I am looking for. Thanks for the excellent examples and links. Yes, we may consider making both. I guess another question I should have asked was how many Creekers' drill...

As usual you guys come through with excellent discussions. Thanks for all the input so far. To clarify things a little, we could make a readout similar to what Brad did with a readout that would...

Pat;

You would just use the readout to measure the depth but if you wanted to drill numerous holes at the same depth you would use the existing depth stop on your drill press.

OK folks. I need some help. Many people have asked about Wixey making a digital depth scale for drill presses and I think I have probably told everyone that we are going to make one someday. Well, we...

Keith. You are putting it on the blade exactly right. I guess the steps I would take would be: 1. Rotate the table to 45 degrees. 2. Place the angle gauge on the fixed table and rotate it on its base...

Keith. What Alan was saying is correct. It is hard to explain but you really have to spin the angle gauge so that is perpendicular to your blade at the 45 degree setting (even if you have it on the...

Keith. Are re-zeroing the angle gauge on the table after you rotate it? You would need to zero the angle gauge sitting on the table perpendicular to your blade before checking the angle. You may be...

Dan;

I don't usually have a ton of time to get involved in discussions but I just could not resist this one. Especially since you are using our readout on a Dewalt machine that I happen to have...

Robert;

I've got to pitch in here. First, I really appologize for the lousy instructions. I am working on new ones that should be a lot better.That is just not my strenght. Proper instructions...

Curt;

If I didn't pay attention to this these boards once in a while how would we know what to improvbe or produce next??

Your readout is in the works. Probably not until the end of the year...

Hey, I just had to step into this one!

Believe it it or not I have read at least 3 reports of people leaving our gauge on the saw blade and then turning it on. One guy said it flew across the...

Rocky;

If you check out our web site in the "will it fit my? section http://wixey.com/planer/fit/index.html there are several sets of photos that show the device mounted on machines that have...

Mike;

The photo is not the best. Just took it quickly myself. Need to get a pro to get new ones for the web ite and packaging.

Also, I need to retract what I said before. I just found that...

OK OK I'll cry Uncle. We have added a thumb wheel to our calipers due to early comments from Glen and more recently others. The very first small production run had about half with and half without....

Ed;

Of course! We may be crazy but were not insane:)

It just shuts the display off but is still measuring like before. I don't know what the electronics guys did. I just told them it had to...

OK folks;

I may be crazy for doing this but on the point about the auto shut off and battery life. We now have that feature in our latest models ( sold since 8/06) and the battery life is also...

Hey Al;
If your thinking about the Wixey. Look at the calibration steps we recommend. It is quite simple and unique. You do not need a set of calipers, your knives don't have to come close to the...
