I like it! Two tools in one!
That's why I did it . That square does not bear up against a standard but is good for initial work. Also most height guages have a fairly short bar, on this find some scrap steel with a hole in it

Hi,
What's the sort of chain we can see at the top ?
Hi Christophe
That chain is the Xdrive of my homebuilt CNC router, seems to work well
cheers

Just a coincidence it lined up with the square

Very clever of you Graham. Flip the bar in line towards the handle and it could be used as a thickness gauge too.
I like that idea. Amazing what can be done with two bits of metal. The MacGyver gene is alive and well
cheers

Indeed. :) Looking forward to more of your projects Graham.
