I have been looking at a couple of designs for a height gauge tonight. This one is so simple and can be made from a few scraps. On top of that it is digital and works with a tool I already own. I also have a few neodymium magnets laying around somewhere. I'll get on to it first thing in the morning. Bloody brilliant, That's what this is.
Brilliant!! I've been wanting to make a height gauge, many videos on UA-cam but yours is easy to make, they don't have to be complicated to build. Keep the videos coming
What circular saw do you have and what blade? If I remember correctly it was a Makita 5903r. I am going to buy a saw with the same size blade, but it is really hard to find combination blades for it. Seems like 235mm/9 inch is a very uncommon size. Edit:Nevermind. I found out what blade you're using and that it is 190mm in diameter. I though there would be problems when attaching such a small blade.
Good idea with the bracket. But it is better, perhaps, to use mechanical attachment (clip), and not a magnet. Mechanical fastening is more reliable. It does not allow (accidentally) to shift the measuring instrument. In the magnet is only one clear advantage - the speed of mounting the measuring instrument. Mark Fisher. Ukraine.
Thank you for this! However the pot magnet (there isn't a weaker magnet I can buy from my local stores and amazon won't ship to my location) that I have is too strong and it restricts the movement of the caliper rod. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue?
Thank you for your reply! Did a quick fix of layering masking tape over the magnet and that helped enough! I do have an issue with the magnet stopping the caliper rod from moving up & down when I'm trying to set my tablesaw blade height though. Once again, thank you for this simple and clever idea.
You attache the gauge to the left side of the disk to adjust the fence? What about the thickness of the blade? The piece you are cutting has the width from the right side of the blade to the fence...
Joder, que bueno. Llevo días tratando de calibrar la altura de la sierra de mesa con un mínimo de precisión. Y aquí está LA SOLUCIÓN. FÁCIL Y RÁPIDO. GRACIAS

Ingenious, nice work! Will have to make one of those. BTW, one can find similar magnets on Amazon, just type "Pot Magnet" in the search box............Steve
Mmh... How can you guarantee that the caliper is 90°? If it's not, the measurement will be wrong. Better using small neodymium magnets and two small pieces of wood as guides to the caliper.
I also noticed the changes of the voice from the first videos... I don't think it's someone else speaking, maybe it's some post-editing effect or a different mic... I don't know the why but even if I prefer his first voice accent for sure the added value on his videos and stuff are great!

thanks! send me some pics if you do it
So simple, yet so useful. Thank you for sharing. This is definitely one I'll build.
thank you so much!
The easiest way to make that I ever saw! thanks!🎉
Thanks for the Height Gauge. I just built it and it works great!
Hello from BC, Canada
I am glad to read that, thanks!
Totally awesome. You really did a good job on making it multifunctional.
thanks as always!
Great jig! great simple/efficient design. can't wait to make one!
thanks Christopher!
Solo una pregunta: Cómo aseguras el angulo de 90 grados?
What circular saw do you have and what blade? If I remember correctly it was a Makita 5903r. I am going to buy a saw with the same size blade, but it is really hard to find combination blades for it. Seems like 235mm/9 inch is a very uncommon size.
Edit:Nevermind. I found out what blade you're using and that it is 190mm in diameter. I though there would be problems when attaching such a small blade.
In my case this blade works well. Take a look at this: paoson.com/downloads/en/forum/59s/saw-disk-cmt .
Paoson WoodWorking That's the page I was looking for. Thanks a lot! Now I'm gonna see were you bought that nice 180mm jigsaw blade.
I'm a little concerned that the calipers will be knocked off, was wondering if there is a way to make a guide for the sides??
So simple and so clever. will definitely make one myself
send me pics please! thank you
smart idea. would love to have one myself
So simple yet totally awesome, going to build this today.
thank you!
the simpler, the better. Great idea!
Thank you so much.
Fantastic/simple measuring device. Great work!!!
thank you!
Brilliant and very simple idea. Good stuff!
thank you as always!
very very nice!!! It's so simple yet effective!!
thank you so much!

Yes, you can do with mechanical attach but in my case with strong magnet works well. Thank you!.
Yes it's great, but where do you get a magnet like that? I have never seen one before.
thanks! It called magnet screw or screw pot magnet, take a look at this:
paoson.com/downloads/forum/161s/pot-magnet-to-height-gauge
Simple and cool! I also have a pair of that magnets which I have bought on that website ;)
Thanks for keeping up the good stuff!
then you should make one! thank you
Very cool and handy tool, my friend!
thanks as always!
Thank you for this! However the pot magnet (there isn't a weaker magnet I can buy from my local stores and amazon won't ship to my location) that I have is too strong and it restricts the movement of the caliper rod. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue?
Well, it must be a very powerful magnet! You may find something similar in an industrial spare parts store
Thank you for your reply! Did a quick fix of layering masking tape over the magnet and that helped enough! I do have an issue with the magnet stopping the caliper rod from moving up & down when I'm trying to set my tablesaw blade height though. Once again, thank you for this simple and clever idea.
well done!
Wow that is so simple and clever!
Thank you so much!.
Brilliant. will definitely build one
Simple, like most brilliant ideas are. Thanks for sharing this!
thanks as always kevin!
You attache the gauge to the left side of the disk to adjust the fence? What about the thickness of the blade? The piece you are cutting has the width from the right side of the blade to the fence...
the thickness of the blade is always the same, 2mm in this case. It is only necessary take off the blade thickness.
Ok thanks. Thought i miss something because you didn't mention it.
BRILLIANT! I am very excited to make one of these!!! Thanks for posting.
thank you!
Simple and clever. Great job
Thank you!.
espectacular,como siempre,simple perfecto...
felicitaciones desde uruguay
muchas gracias Fernando!
Very simple and cool! great!

Nice and useful
Thanks as always!
Hello, my name is Rômulo Crispim, I liked the idea, I will develop a jig for use with my half saw Makita miter lh 1040.
Thank you. Success.
Hello Rômulo. Don`t forget send pics. Thank you!

Klasse Idee uns so simpel... :)
Danke!

indeed, thanks for the information and send me pics!
Good easy project, but useful too! Thanks Paoson!
I still like the old voice-over though. The new voice just doesn't sound natural.
thank you as always!
Genial hermano!
muchas gracias como siempre!
Boa idea !!! 👍👍👍
gracias!
Paoson come up with the goods again!
thank you!
parabéns
obrigado!
It's great, but a bit inaccurate. The width of the piece will be less by a thickness of a blade
of course, you must measure the thickness of the blade, usually 3mm, and add it, for example. Thanks for comment!
I'm sure the digital caliper can be calibrated to zero, using the saw teeth as reference, to avoid this problem. Simple fix.
yeah! that way also it works, thanks for the information.
Smart :-)
thank you!
Mmh... How can you guarantee that the caliper is 90°? If it's not, the measurement will be wrong.
Better using small neodymium magnets and two small pieces of wood as guides to the caliper.
like!
thank you!
no
is it me, or is someone else narrating these videos now?
speak english is not one of my best skills, for this reason a friend is helping me to edit the videos and put the voice. Thanks for comment!
I thought you always did a fantastic job! loved your narration and it was easily understood.
thank you friend!
I also noticed the changes of the voice from the first videos... I don't think it's someone else speaking, maybe it's some post-editing effect or a different mic... I don't know the why but even if I prefer his first voice accent for sure the added value on his videos and stuff are great!
ops, just read the mistery explanation... :D
