Wixey Digital Angle Gauge - A Precision Tool for Woodworking
The Wixey Digital Angle Gauge is a small, yet powerful tool that allows woodworkers to easily set and measure angles on their table saw. With an accuracy of a tenth of a degree, this gauge ensures precise cuts every time. It features a magnetic base, making it compatible with any steel or magnetic surface. Additionally, it can be used on non-magnetic surfaces using double-sided tape or a clever trick with blue tape and super glue. Apart from woodworking, it can also be handy for sharpening tools like gouges and hand plane blades.
