Horizontal Mortiser Alignment Gauges
MasterGage tools help woodworkers verify horizontal mortiser setup before cutting matching mortises. Use measured references for bit height fence position table relationship and travel stops.
Machine Set Up
Horizontal mortiser accuracy depends on a stable workpiece reference and a consistent relationship among the bit table fence and stops. MasterGage tools can help verify height depth parallel and square references before machining joinery. Use the machine manufacturer’s instructions and make a test mortise before cutting finished parts.

The following MasterGage precision alignment tools are designed for use with a Horizontal Mortiser
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.
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.
