Height Gauge for circular saws and routers

thingiverse

This is a height gauge for my router and circular saw. I bought a set of scales (Inch and Metric) from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PKRFS98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I glued the scale to the base using a square and put a red color on Zero Indicator. I use a metric side of the scale, and adjusted Zero as 25mm, but there should be enough space to adjust Zero as 1 in if you like Inch. You can mount Zero Indicator on Left or Right side. (1x SHCS M3x0.5 8mm) The tread on the model is a bit tight. Optionally, you can attach a blade to mark. (2x SHCS M2.5x0.45 8mm). R2 has 2 clamping screws, so the blade won't move like R1. I bought these from Home Depot. -- Hobby Knife -- https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-Hobby-Knife-18PT0608/309976342 -- Blades -- https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-Hobby-Blades-5-Pack-18PT0610/309976491 +++ Update on 6/8 I added a hole and tread to clamp the blade better (total 2 sets) Slider r2.STL +++ Update on 6/13 I made a new zero indicator by a clear acryl panel with a red line. I bought a cutter from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BZZ1D0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I scraped a thin line by the tool and put the red ink by a permanent marker and cleaned the excess ink. I had some clear acryl panels left over, but the thickness is not critical. A A lot easier to see the dimension. I changed 30 mm as Zero instead of 25 mm. If you use the clear panel, print R3 (not R2)
