I have an older Powermatice Model 15 planer. The planer works great but sorely needs a decent gauge. I bought a Wixey remote planer readout for it and would like to see some photos and get some ideas on installation. The Wixey sight has photos on a new 15HH but I'd like to see something closer to my setup.

TIA, Joe

Good question Joe as I just bought a Powermatic Model 15 also and am thinking about a Wixey readout for it. I'd be interested to see how anyone else has installed it too.

Congratulations on a great idea. I think all planers should have this gauge installed as a default next to the elevation crank. That being said, what does Wixey recommend? Certainly they have some ideas....... no?

Here is how Mark Ash from upstate New York did his.
