February 8, 201412 yr comment_5201 That's a good price! I have some igaging stuff (not this) the only thing I've found is that the batteries seem to drain pretty fast. Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime Traveler and Purveyor of the Universe's Finest Custom Rolling Pins! Report

February 9, 201412 yr comment_5199 All three of my digital tools are Wixey and two of them eat batteries, too. I've started removing the batteries from the angle gauge and height/depth gauge. The planer gauge hasn't been installed yet, so battery life on it is unknown at this point. The planer gauge was bought for a previous planer and that planer was gifted to my son before I got the gauge installed. I hope when it get's installed on the DeWalt that it doesn't drain the battery as fast as the others. Gene'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.'

February 9, 201412 yr comment_5198 I have the Igaging angle guage and height guages. Battery life is shorter then I like, but these work good. I just keep extra batteries on a peg board in my shop.Wayne MahlerGod bless and protect our troops that serve so we can be free. Report
