Automatic Thickness Finder

The FitFinder's gauge automatically adjusts to half your material's thickness. Then you simply raise the lock-miter bit until the platform contacts the gauge. Set the fence using your material and a straightedge, and you're all set

As a visual indicator to ensure the bit is correctly inserted, the bit has a router collet safety line etched into it. The bit features a small slot within each groove, acting as a "glue well" to let excess glue flow into the slot instead of blocking the joint.

You've heard me talk about the beauty and practicality of simplicity time and time again, and this tool exemplifies that. The FitFinder performs a very specific task: setting a blade or bit to half the thickness of a board. This takes the guesswork (usually a lot of trial and error) out of making perfectly fitting lap joints of even finding the dead center of a dowel. But how elegant is that design!

New product line allows users to find half thickness of material without measuring.

The FitFinder ½ gauge from MicroJig makes it easy to find the half-thickness of parts up to 3 inches and use that to set cutting tool height such as setting up a saw blade to cut exactly halfway through plywood for a rabbet or dado cut.
