HOFFMANN Digital Multi Gauge
Instead of using the steps in the square-stop (see page 16), the HOFFMANN Digital Multi Gauge can be used to set precise
router bit projections on the machines. The digital read-out allows precise setting of router bits which is especially helpful in
cases were a little less or more draw (or clamping force) is required. For example, when joining small floater frames the draw
can be reduced and on large, heavy moulding the draw can be increased to suit individual needs.
The gauge features a
large, easy-to-read display which can be switched from millimeter to inches. Aside from setting router bits on Hoffmann
machines, the gauge is used in woodworking shops to set sawblades on table saws, bits in router tables, to measure dado
and groove depths, etc.
