 Announcing Affordable Precision in WoodworkingPRECISE MEASUREMENTS MADE FAST! MAG-DRO’s device used to fix calipers easily to make quick and accurate adjustments to machines such as table saws, planers, and routers.
By: MAG-DRO Precision Woodworking A company located in Colorado, called MAG-DRO®, has created a tool for professional and amateur workshops alike that is clever in its simplicity and allows you to quickly and easily anchor your calipers to make precision adjustments. The mitre slot base attached to a caliper fits securely in a ¾” wide miter slot or for more flexibility there is a magnetic base that will work on any flat, unpainted steel work surface. This enables quick and accurate adjustments to machines, such as table saws, planers, and routers, using a fixed point. With virtually unlimited applications in the shop, MAG-DRO® reinvents the capabilities of calipers and redefines the accuracy of your equipment. Either of the bases fits most six-inch calipers, allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect calipers. They are adaptable to many applications, are easy to store, and can provide digital accuracy to the hobbyist woodworker that was previously cost prohibitive. The bodies of the MAG-DRO® Tools have been precision molded and reinforced to ensure a stable platform for your calipers. Best of all, it is made in America. Even the critics love this new tool as evidenced by New Woodworker’s own Tom Hintz who wrote, “MAG-DRO Caliper Bases are well made tools that with minor care on your part will last a very long time. I like that the MAG-DRO Caliper Bases use a common 6” caliper without tying that tool up when not being used for these purposes. That lets you extend your measuring dollars a bunch while adding accuracy to your shop. That kind of dual purpose is not common in woodworking. I suspect that the versatility of the MAG-DRO Caliper Bases will not be fully understood until we have them in our shops for a while and have time to explore ways that we can use them.” For more information on MAG-DRO® and its many uses including tuning up your table saw or cutting a Dado without a Dado Blade you can visit www.MAG-DRO.com. You can also find detailed specifications, instructional videos, and step-by-step instructions on getting the most out of your workshop. The MAG-DRO® Magnetic Caliper Base sells for approximately $10 and the Mitre Slot Base for approximately $8. Both are available online or in-store at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware, Hartville Tools, Lee Valley, and Woodcraft stores.
