Spi 13-163-1 Adjustable Planer and Shaper Gage 6.25 in

Product Description

The SPI 13-163-1 is an adjustable planer and shaper gage designed for precision measurement and setup in woodworking and machining operations. At 6.25 inches in overall length, this gage allows technicians and machinists to accurately set cutting depths, fence positions, and tool heights on planers and shapers. The adjustable design accommodates a range of measurement tasks without the need to swap tools mid-setup. Weighing 1 pound, the unit is lightweight enough for repeated bench use while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent readings. It is intended for trade and industrial use by machinists, woodworkers, and shop technicians who require repeatable setup accuracy.

This gage is suited for use in woodworking shops, production facilities, and machine shops where planers and shapers require frequent adjustment and calibration. It is particularly useful during tooling changes, when setting blade depth on thickness planers, or when establishing consistent cutter height on shaper tables. The compact 6.25-inch form factor makes it practical in tight setup areas around stationary machinery. Professionals performing regular equipment maintenance or production changeovers will find this gage a reliable part of their standard setup toolkit.

Installation Notes

This gage is used by machinists and woodworking technicians during machine setup and does not require permanent installation. Before adjusting any planer or shaper, power down the machine and confirm the blade or cutter head has come to a complete stop. Use the gage on a clean, flat reference surface to ensure accurate readings. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety codes when performing any tooling or depth adjustments.
