Sometimes your calipers just aren't big enough.

Sort of off subject, but I have a 34" caliper. Never have really needed it gut I have it.

It consists of Wixey R700 digital read out tht is installed on the Icrea LS fence positioner.
The set up ls limited to about a 34" maximum distance between the blade and the fence.

Even lthough the rails are for 52" set up, I am limited due to the fact that I have the cast iron wings installed on the saw and have the rails far enough to the left of of the saw to accommodate the router table.

This arrangement does provide pretty much the equivalent a 34" digital readout set of ov calipers. I have never needed to use the arrangement but the title of this thread prompted me to mention it.

Good Idea and it turned out great.

Looks good on that wall above the CNC.

Time to start looking into dust collection, especially if you cut MDF all the time.

Mike, a guy on this or another forum got into trouble just for mentioning the name of a farm equipment company that has green and yellow colors.
Pro4824, I would hold off until I heard from the company. I had a friend who had to pay a lot of $$$ for trademark infringement.

After a long career in metrology (the science & application of measurement) and calibration, I GOTTA have one of those! It makes my 10" RAS saw blade clock green with envy!
