    When Norm was selling the height gauge they were $125. Not cheap but just by looking at it on TV I could see it was an item I would like. I should have bought one when I had the chance but I hee-hawed around now it looks like I'll have to wait.

    Byron Trantham and the rest of the group that posted on this old thread. Here is what you asked about 8 months ago … they are selling them now. …I just posted a new thread about this under the heading of Angle Wright Height Gauge www.anglewright.com

    ( I just found this old post )

    You guys ought to look on eBay for machine shop height gauges. Used, they’ll still be more accurate than any made for woodworking. Here’s a nice one with a "buy it now" price of 60 bucks, 280182998303.
    Search Height Gage and dozens of them will come up.
    Please help support the Creek.

    I'm happy with this recently purchased Wixey height gauge...

    ....even though a bit pricey at ~$60.

    I really like my limited edition A. Clark height gauge that I paid $5 for.

    Unfortunately I'm not sure where you could find another, but you could make one.

    Another vote for Wixey, I like the height gage a lot, you can also use it on the router table for height and to set the fence distance.

    Holy Expensive Batman!

    Okay, I know this post is a couple years old, but I was looking for the AngleWright Height Gage after I saw it on NormsTools.com. I emailed the gentlemen listed on the AW website this morning and this is the response I got:

    Hi Brandon,

    Thank you for your interest in our AngleWright Height Gauge. It is
    available for purchase. It costs $135 plus shipping. You can place your
    order via email or by calling 800 448-3680. We accept MasterCard and VISA
    for payment.


    I think I'll be making my own long before I spend $135 on a height gage. Maybe the Pro's will want to use this, but I think I can get by with homebuilt accuracy.

    See post #18 in this thread. It still holds true.
    $135 for ~3 1/2" of travel is crazy IMO.

    I missed page 2

    So, yeah, I missed page 2 of the thread at first and reposted info. Oops, my bad! Oh well, I guess no matter how many times you post the price of that angle gauge it still makes me pucker!
