METHOD AND APPARTUS FOR ADJUSTABLE GAUGE BLOCK
An adjustable gauge block that may be quickly adjusted to a desired height and then dialed in to a precision measurement that can replace a set of gauge blocks. The adjustable gauge block of the present disclosure may be further used as a repeatable and precise physical reference to set tool depths and heights. The adjustable gauge block of the present disclosure may be utilized as a physical reference to set drill press bit depths, table saw blade heights, router table bit heights, and the like. Additionally, the adjustable gauge block of the present disclosure may be utilized to check uniformity of thickness along an edge of a piece of stock.

Gap measuring device
A device for measuring a gap between two objects located remotely from a user includes a base, a slider and a wedge. The slider is slidably received in the base and the wedge is attached to the slider and also slidably received in the base. A push-pull cable has a proximal end connected to the slider. The wedge is inclined at a predetermined angle and slides along an angled surface of the base such that a force applied to a distal end of the cable causes an upper surface of the wedge to move vertically forcing the wedge and the base into respective contact with the two objects forming the gap. By measuring the distance that the push-pull cable slides, the vertical distance traveled by the wedge and thus a measurement of the gap may be determined.
