Automatic Thickness Finder

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.

You’re able to quickly and easily center router bits on stock. This is especially helpful when setting up tedious bits such as bird’s mouth bits, finger joint bits, and more where having the bit perfectly centered is critical.

What little space it takes up in the shop is well worth the essential tasks it performs: ensuring that your half-lap joints are exactly that; finding centerline on sheet goods and milled stock; helping to set up a bandsaw fence for resawing boards; and finding dowel centers to name a few.
