Height gage

[Byron Trantham]

The height gage that use to set the height of my table saw blade hit the concrete and broke. I would like to get the one that Norm has been using and it made by Angle Wright Tool Co. Can't find it anywhere. I posted a message at NYW but I doubt they will answer. Anyone know where I can find it or a good alternative?

I use gauge blocks, those brass bars used in machine shops. For anything over an inch, I have made my own set of wooden gauge blocks.

I have been sending emails to Anglewright for the past 18 months asking when the height gauge will be available. They always respond but they always tell me in about 3 months. After a 18 months of waiting I got tired and made my own. Made a nice Saturday project.

Byron, I use both the Veritas Tool Setting Guage and Set-up Blocks from Lee Valley. http://www.leevalley.com:80/wood/pag...=1,240&p=41064
They are quick and easy to use.

I very much like these taper gauges from LV for setting up numerous machines...

Sorry to hear this but thanks for the warning. Wonder if Norm will give his up?

The following is from the NYW site:

Hi Norm,
Anglewright seems to have disappeared from their web site and Yankee tools. Any help finding the height and angle finder would be most apprreciated. (I misplaced the email address of "John" from the company)

Answer:
Sorry to say we cant get any more of these tools at the moment. If that situation changes, youll once again see them back on our tool list.

Shop Notes had one a couple years back that used the HF plastic digital calipers that are often on sale for $7.99. It is basically an inverted "U". After I made my first, I made a set of jigs to produce the body, includung routing the cavity for caliper. Made several as gifts for friends. Sorry I can't post pictures.

Do you mean like Glenn's in post number 8?
