Woodpeckers in-DEXABLE

Woodpeckers in-DEXABLE woodworking tools are for laying out parts and setting up cuts in your shop. The family includes the Square System, Miter Gauge and ThinRip Guide. When your layout calls for full-inch offsets, indexed parallel scribing gives you set positions to work from.

Woodpeckers opened in 1988 and has a manufacturing operation in Strongsville, Ohio. Rich Hummel is its founder and president. The company makes measuring and layout tools, router lifts and fences, clamping systems, jigs and fixtures.

Choose the line for the job

The Square System belongs in your layout-tool comparison. For the family’s parallel-scribing function, the reference edge matters as much as the offset: a carefully measured distance from a crooked edge still gives you a bad layout. Prepare a straight reference edge and use it throughout the layout.

The in-DEXABLE family includes a Miter Gauge alongside the Square System. For repeated angled cuts, the Miter Gauge is the relevant line. Compare its bar dimensions and shape with your saw’s miter slot before choosing it. Then prove the angle on scrap; for a frame, bring the test pieces together and check the joint before cutting your project parts.

The ThinRip Guide is the third line in the family. Compare its working thickness range and machine fit with the job you’ve planned.

Woodpeckers’ general warranty guarantees materials and workmanship for the life of the tool. Coverage stays with the original consumer purchaser or gift recipient, so judge a used tool on its condition and completeness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Woodpeckers in-DEXABLE miter gauge used for?

The in-DEXABLE miter gauge sets the angle of your workpiece for a cut. For a flat frame, check blade tilt as well as the miter setting. Your joint can close at the face and still gap underneath if the blade isn’t square to the table.
