Drill Press Alignment Gauges
MasterGage tools help woodworkers set and verify drill press references for hole location depth and workpiece orientation. A measured setup is especially useful for repeat work jigs and joinery components.
Machine Set Up
Drill press setup may involve the table fence depth stop bit and workpiece support. MasterGage tools can help establish known references for depth height and squareness where the machine configuration allows. Secure work properly and follow the drill press manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions.

The following MasterGage precision alignment tools are designed for use with a Drill Press
MasterGage® Professional Package
The MasterGage Professional is a broad woodworking-machine alignment, calibration, setup, and troubleshooting system. It combines a precision dial indicator, height scales, protractor capability, and accessories for measured setup across compatible machines.
MasterGage® Classic Package
The MasterGage Classic is a versatile non-angular woodworking-machine alignment and setup system. Use its precision-ground body, dial indicator, scales, and accessories to check heights, squareness, parallelism, and applicable machine relationships.
Universal Angle Guide & Height Gauge
Transfer and read woodworking angles, set saw blade or router-bit height, and work from a clear physical reference with the Universal Angle Guide & Height Gauge. It reads 0 to 180 degrees in 1/2-degree increments and includes fractional and metric height gauges.
1-2-3 MicroGage
The 1-2-3 MicroGage combines a precision 1-2-3 block with a magnetic dial-indicator carriage for compact height and measurement tasks. Use it on compatible machines to set and compare heights, check reference surfaces, and work in restricted spaces. Not for table saw use.
