I have the TS-Aligner Jr and configured it to mimic the multi gauge.
Unfortunately, the surface of the bar was so narrow that it was
difficult to get a consistent reading because the bar had a tendency
to rock.
The idea of making a jig would save a lot of money and if I'm not
happy with the results, Fathers Day isn't that far off...

You might like the TS-Aligner Jr for a similar price.

Or with a dial indicator, an accurate square and some simple shop made
jigs you can do some useful things for less money.

I'm sorry, but who buys this $h!t when you can make it from scraps and a
$15 dial indicator from Harbor Freight.
We're supposed to be wood fabricators and we're paying 100 bucks for
crap we can make in an hour from crap lying around our shops.

I have a *hard* time not forking it over for their one-time jigs they
sell at Woodcraft every few months.
Always beautiful designs and very functional.

I beg your forgiveness! I'll never (hiding his Woodpeckers brochure
behind his back) even think about this again. I promise.

That's a clean, simple design and it's at least as easy to use as the
TS-Aligner Jr. that I bought about 15 years ago. It looks like the
indicator can't be rotated 90 deg to work like the Multi-Gauge though.
I wish that was available when I bought my TS-Aligner Jr. because I
probably would have bought it instead.
I got one of their Precision Router Lifts about 15 years ago and I
love it. One of the gears that drives the chain failed after 2 or 3
years and they sent all the necessary replacement parts no questions
asked. Excellent service!
