Drill Press Alignment Gauges
Using a MasterGage precision alignment gauge with your drill press enhances both safety and accuracy during operation. By ensuring precise bit alignment, it significantly reduces the risk of kickback and binding, promoting a safer working environment. The gauge facilitates consistent drill depth, which improves cut quality and surface finish while minimizing material waste through fewer reworks. With its ability to enhance repeatability, operators can achieve identical hole placement across various projects, streamlining workflow and reducing setup time. The MasterGage also supports easy adjustments for different bit sizes and types, ensuring squareness of holes to workpiece edges for a better fit. Overall, this tool fosters operator confidence by providing reliable alignment verification, contributing to consistent performance across multiple drilling tasks while minimizing unexpected tool behavior.
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.
