1) Submitted by Richard, from College Station, TX on 11/25/2011 Customer Rating: I put one of these on my drum sander. It took some drilling and retrofitting, but it now accurately measures the sanding thickness. Nothing I used before compares to it. My drum sander stops as it overheats when I sand too much so this gadget saves me a lot of time. I had to make my own brackets and figure out the best way to attach it. The manufacturer might consider an expanded set of brackets along with some pictures showing how to attach the device to various popular tools.

2) Submitted by BILL, from JASPER, NEW YORK on 3/29/2011 Customer Rating: I installed this product on my 20 inch Grizzly planer with very little dificulty. I did have to make a bracket out of a short piece of 3/4 inch angle iron, but the intallation is very neat and sturdy. even though you can not set a planer to zero it is very easy to set the read out to zero at 1 inch and useing simple addition or subtraction calculate the thickness. This digital readout is very accurate and allows me to return my planer to the exact same thickness of cut every time, all the time. a great time saver at a great price.

4) Submitted by Jackie Preston, from Grapevine, TX on 10/7/2010 Customer Rating: Very good at what it does. I did expect a little more in screws, etc to install and the instructions are a bit sparse but for the price it can't be beat. The ability to select units of measurement metric, inches in various levels up to 1/128 is excellent. Nothing like trying to figure out what 98/128 is close to in real world - this product allows one to customize accuracy to "real world" numbers

5) Submitted by Steve Zagame, from Boylston, MA on 9/9/2012 Customer Rating: Instructions are terrible and battery life is short. It's a pain to reset the calibration when the batteries die. The alternative from another well know digital vendor is a better solution.

6) Submitted by Russ, from Big Bear Lake, CA on 1/17/2011 Customer Rating: I would rate the product better but for the inability to set the depth to a defined number. I installed it on my wide belt sander, which will not go to zero, but to about one quarter inch many planers are this way too. On other digital read outs I could sand a board and set the DRO to what the board measures out, which is really easy to do. This unit has no means to do so, only a relative read out to a "memorized number" which you get to remember and deduct from the read out. I called manufacturer's technical support and they confirmed this shortcoming. So, I have to get my sander to an inch, which is an easy number to remember, set the DRO to relative zero and then deduct and inch from the actual readout each time I use it. At the price is is a decent deal, but if I had know of this shortcoming I would not have purchased and installed it.
