From the Manufacturer
A multi-purpose dust and oil resistant gauge! Set the cutting height on your router table, table saw or other Woodworking machines. It can also precisely align your jointer knives or even measure thickness (when placed on a true-Flat surface). The strong magnetic base allows easy mounting to ferrous machine tables or fences. Accurate to within 0.001-Inch. Measurements are read in the large, clear LCD display to 0.0005-Inch, 0.01mm and 1/128-Inch. The stainless steel beam with solid aluminum alloy base keeps the digital height gauge steady while making height adjustments. It can be zeroed at any point. Max measurement height is 6-Inch. Extra battery included.

Just received this today and had to try it out right away. It seems to be well built and has a nice weight to it. Doesnt feel cheap. Plus the magnetic base is a plus. This is one of the cheaper ones that I found that has the magnetic base. I believe in a non-magnetic surface like most router tables you will probably have to hold down on the base while taking your readings. I dont believe it weighs enough to keep itself firmly planted. But I doubt any of them do for that matter. It appears to be accurate. I set it on a flat surface and set it to zero and slide it up and down and it always returned to zero when I slid it down all the way. I wish it would have included a plastic case like the cheaper MLCS unit does. But it comes in a nice box with a nice styrofoam insert so I believe that will just be the storage case. I also love the decimal standard and metric readings as well as the standard fraction reading. You can switch between those readings with the push of a button. Overall I believe you will be satisfied with this gauge if you are looking for an inexpensive unit with alot of features.
