Wixey WR300 Type 2 Digital Angle Gauge with Backlight

This is an incredibly useful little tool to keep around the workshop, especially considering how inexpensive it is. I originally bought it specifically for setting up and calibrating woodworking equipment like my table saw and jointer, but it quickly turned into one of those tools I reach for constantly. The obvious use cases are things like: * setting blade angles * checking jointer fence alignment * dialing in machine setup and it works great for all of that. But where it became unexpectedly valuable was general problem-solving around the shop. Anytime I need to quickly determine an angle relative to another surface or object, this thing saves a huge amount of frustration compared to trying to: * eyeball it * use a traditional protractor * stack squares and gauges together * improvise measurements It’s one of those tools that solves oddly specific geometry problems in seconds that otherwise turn into an annoying process. A few things I especially like: * quick and easy to use * compact enough to keep nearby * accurate enough for woodworking setup * much faster than manual angle methods * versatile beyond just machine calibration The value proposition is really what stands out though. This is the kind of tool that can meaningfully improve setup accuracy and workflow for very little money. Definitely one of those “buy once and constantly find uses for it later” workshop tools.

Seems way better than my last other brand one was. Checking against an accurate square it’s bang on. Glad I bought it.

Have not used yet but I'm expecting good results from this gauge, especially on the table saw. Not worried about the miter saw because it has been tuned up for accuracy but the Tablesaw is a little harder when trying to set a bevelled edge on your wood. I'm sure this is going to help immensely and also speed up the process.

Good product
