MasterGage Classic Review by Dean Bielanowski "OnlineToolReviews.com" (Brisbane, Queensland Australia)
The MasterGage was a godsend for setting up my tablesaw accurately. I had always used my quality square to set things up and for those setup steps that the square can be used for, it did work pretty well. But there are many steps in saw setup that a square simply cannot achieve with a real degree of fine accuracy. This is where the MasterGage's mounts and dial indicator come into play. I discovered my table saw miter slot was not terribly well squared to the blade or the rip fence. It was a fair way out in fact. Using the MasterGage and the miter slot cradle bar I was able to quickly and easily square things up. The dial indicator is essential for also measuring arbor runout and arbor flange flatness, and well as any bearing wear on the table saw (it can also measure this on drill press spindles, jointer blade drums and other tool components as well). It is also great for ensuring your router collet spindle is square to a router table top when mounted upside down in a router table configuration. The tool also can be used as a depth setting gauge or a blade height setting guage and can be used to offset fences as well (up to 3 inches) if need be. The tool is well made and accurate and is a great asset to any workshop. Recommended!
MasterGage Classic Review by Donald Garver "Don Garver" (Northwest Ohio)
I have been making segmented wood turnings for about two years and the one thing that I realized from the very beginning was that accurate sawing and sanding of the segments before gluing them together is an absolute necessity. "That's close enough", just doesn't get it done when you are working with sixty to two hundred pieces of wood that will be glued together to make a beautiful vase.
Over the last 6 months I have purchased four of the most highly rated instruments for setting the accuracy of woodworking machinery. Three of them were pretty good but fell short of the perfection that I was looking for. The fourth one that I tried was the MasterGage/Classic. I was quite impressed with the Classic as soon as I opened the case it was stored in. Then when I slipped it into the miter slot of my cabinet saw and found that the earth magnets held it snugly against the side of the slot I was more impressed. With the MasterPlate fastened snugly on the arbor I slid the MasterGage/Classic from one end of the plate to the other and found that what I thought was a dead-on-accurate table saw set up was not dead-on at all, it was dead-wrong. I made the necessary corrections to my table saw and moved on to my 12" disk sander, 8" jointer, 14" high rise band saw, 12" sliding compound miter saw, 15" wide belt sander and finally to my 24" OneWay Lathe. The only machine in my shop that did not need to be readjusted was my OneWay Wood Lathe. To say that I was thrilled with the accuracy of my next segmented project would be an understatement. My shop machinery had never worked that well before.
As I purchased the machinery in my shop I always tried to research each item so that I would be able to get the best equipment available. And I admit when I bought the setup gauges I chose the cheaper ones first. After all dial indicators are all about the same. Well you get what you pay for. You need a good dial indicator for sure, but if the rest of the setup equipment that you are attaching that dial indicator to is less than perfect you will be accepting the "That's close enough" theory.
Needless to say the first three gauges were returned and I'm happy and content with my MasterGage/Classic. I have always heard that nothing else measures up once you have had the best. What more need I say?
MasterGage Classic Review by Edward Morgan "Lovestohunt" (Brookhaven, Ms. USA)
I recently bought a Master Gage Classic. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement! With the instructions included it is so easy to use. I have aligned my table saw, miter saw, my brothers radial arm saw, table saw, and miter saw. I have also aligned a friends table saw. All of them were very impressed with the ease of use and the concise instruction manuel. Thanks Paul for a fine product.
