JIG JOURNAL Height Gauge This simple gauge has a wide stance so it can stand on its own, leaving both hands free to make adjustments. The large shoulder makes it easy to position the gauge over the blade or cutter and you can adjust the width of the base to fit the distance between fence and cutter. To make the gauge, cut the parts to the sizes and shapes needed. Drill the bases for bolts and dowels, and rout a groove in the slide. Glue the dowels to the short base and fasten the plastic shoulder to the slide with screws. Cut slots in the tall base, sawing from the ends into the holes. Also, glue a scale to the tall base so the measurements run from the bottom edge up. Slide Fasten the shoulder/slide assembly to the tall base with carriage bolts and screws. Insert the dowels through the holes in the tall base. To clamp the tall base to the dowels, drive screws through the slots from the top edge.
