Oneway multi-gauge

[Gordon Shumway]

Does anyone else make a tool comparable to the Oneway multi-gauge? A little competition can be a good thing.

You might like the TS-Aligner Jr for a similar price.

Or with a dial indicator, an accurate square and some simple shop made jigs you can do some useful things for less money.

I have the TS-Aligner Jr and configured it to mimic the multi gauge. Unfortunately, the surface of the bar was so narrow that it was difficult to get a consistent reading because the bar had a tendency to rock.

The idea of making a jig would save a lot of money and if I'm not happy with the results, Fathers Day isn't that far off...

Something like this? Maybe?

[Gordon Shumway]

That's a clean, simple design and it's at least as easy to use as the TS-Aligner Jr. that I bought about 15 years ago. It looks like the indicator can't be rotated 90 deg to work like the Multi-Gauge though. I wish that was available when I bought my TS-Aligner Jr. because I probably would have bought it instead.

I got one of their Precision Router Lifts about 15 years ago and I love it. One of the gears that drives the chain failed after 2 or 3 years and they sent all the necessary replacement parts no questions asked. Excellent service!

I'm sorry, but who buys this $h!t when you can make it from scraps and a $15 dial indicator from Harbor Freight.

We're supposed to be wood fabricators and we're paying 100 bucks for crap we can make in an hour from crap lying around our shops.

I love their story sticks, both sizes.

[Gordon Shumway]

I beg your forgiveness! I'll never (hiding his Woodpeckers brochure behind his back) even think about this again. I promise.

They DO make some really cool jigs though, huh? :-)

[Gordon Shumway]

I knew you'd come around. ;-)

I have a *hard* time not forking it over for their one-time jigs they sell at Woodcraft every few months. Always beautiful designs and very functional.

They're pretty, too.

Thinking about buying one. ;-)
