When it comes to usage, it scores very high because it is extremely simple to use. This item comes with 2 gauges, and both of them are very easy to work with. The gauge is put in place to act as a visual reminder of how thick your board is finally going to turn.
The removal gauge that it comes with shows the exact amount of thickness that it will remove. It also shows the maximum amount that the device can remove without the board breaking. The gauge also reveals the final thickness that your hardwood board will reach once you pass it through the planer.
However, if you feel that you do not need the readings, the gauge can also be very easily removed. All you have to do is loosen the screws and remove them along with the gauge marker.
