## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone installed this on the Steel City 40100 planer?  If so, how did it work out for you?**
A: No not yet.  I have the digital measurement but it does not look like a straight forward add-  I have a DeWalt planer for which I will try to install in the next month or so

**Q: I want a feb. '18 reply from the seller: if i order this now will it use aaa batteries? is this the one called type 2 on the wixey site?**
A: This unit uses 2 AAA batteries.  Realitively easy to change.

**Q: What type of battery is used by the unit that you, not woodcraft,  are selling?**
A: If you go to Wixey's site, you will find that they have actually made/sold TWO versions of the WR510.  One version (Type 1?) uses the coin-shaped CR2032 battery(s).  The other version (Type 2?) uses "triple A" (AAA) batteries - I think 2.  Soooo... Depending upon when and from whom you bought/buy your WR510 - the unit will require either CR2032 OR AAA batteries.  It will be up to you to ask the question (of Rockler, Woodcraft, etc.), before your purchase, if it makes a difference to you.  My preference if for the AAA-powered version.  Reason: You can buy replacement AAA batteries ANYWHERE - even in the Himalayas! Not so with the CR2032.  Some may say the one battery style will last longer than the other.  But that is not significant to me - I'm going for readily available replacements.(Not to mention that I think the AAA are probably less expensive and I have numerous laying around the house.)

**Q: Can this be installed on a large planer? I have a 24" wide planer that goes up to 6" thickness.**
A: Most likely. It just needs a place to mount to the side of the blade path where the body can screw to the moving part of the planer and the ruler can touch someplace in plane with the bed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install on DW735 -- here's my install notes
*by R***S on December 19, 2012*

I love it! This is far more useful and easier to zero out than I expected. I thought it just told me the height setting absolute or with incremental changes. Little did I know that I could also take a piece of wood freshly planed, lift up the gauge and get an absolute measurement of the board's thickness too. Which then answered my question about how to zero it out. Just hit the button with that board in place and it is zeroed.The instructions are horrible and there's different pieces in there to accommodate different types of planers. I was a bit anxious at first, but In the end it was easy and I only had to drill 2 small holes, and reused 2 which were already there.Here is what worked for me.Secure the Main Back Bracket over the old ruler:1. I took the spring off the gauge, pulled the ruler and the gauge off the back mounting plate. It makes it easier to install since you can clearly see the holes and stuff.2. Take the red thickness gauge marker off the DW735 and keep the 2 screws.3. I clamped a straight edge across the infeed table. This lets you have hands free for the next 2 steps!4. I took the mounting bracket/back plate, held it up over the old ruler on the right and lifted it till the foot was touching the bottom of my straight edge. This was you know the bottom of the Wixey will register with the surface of your infeed table.5. After you are comfortable, take the backing off the 2 adhesives, reline it up with the gauge and centered on the old ruler and press it in place.6. Since the adhesive won't hold forever, secure it using 2 screws. The bracket has screw holes in it so you just need to drill through the metal the Dewalt ruler is on. They include the drill bit for you, but I found it easier to first punch through with a smaller bit of my own, and then use theirs to finish the hole. Then, find 2 of the 4mm screws with the hex head and screw them in to hold the bracket in place.Hard part is done...Now, Mount the lifting bracket and the Wixey gauge in the old screw holes:7. Figure out the bracket you need... This would be easier with a picture, but look at their drawing of the DW735. It's a L shaped bracket of sorts which can fit over the screw holes the original red height marker was in. There are two included, but the smaller one is a custome one for Delta. This initially confused me since I didn't realize there were excess pieces in the bags...8. Lightly screw it in. You will want to use the double washer to span the thing and use the original 2 screws. The metal part that sticks out will be to the left (away from the gauge).9. Attached the long thin bracket piece to the left side of the actual gauge with the single screw. Hold it up to where it will go and you will see which side the tab has to go on...10. Put the gauge and the ruler part which were disassembled in step 1 back on, but leave the spring off. I found it makes adjusting easier.11. Now use a nut and bolt to secure the L bracket in step 8 to the thin mounting bracket in step 9.Check fit, tighten and add spring back in:12. Set the planer to the 1/8 tickness, slide the gauge to be in line with 1/8 on the ruler (ignore the digital display for now, that gets taken care of later).13. Make sure everything slides easily. I had to adjust the L bracket in step 8 in a little, bend another over a little, etc. Again, I found this easier to do without the spring in the mechanism at first since I could lift the gauge and it would stay out of my way, but that was just me.14. Reattach the spring from step one (pull the ruler piece out, put the spring on the back bracket, slide the rule thing back in and through the gauge till it contacts the foot, then attached the spring at the top).15. Make sure you can pull the ruler piece up, let go and it snaps back down without binding. If it does, loosen and play with alignment of the brackets. Easier to do than describe really, you'll see!Finally, calibrate the digital part for the first time (this is what I did not understand at first):16. Plane a piece of wood till it cuts the full width.... then don't change the height17. Lift the Wixey gauge up (the rule part), put the wood on the foot, drop the ruler. Now, it is measuring the thickness of the freshly planed wood.18. Hold the calibrate button for 3 seconds and it zeros out.19. Pull the wood out, the ruler drops and now it reads the actual height the planer is running at20. You're done!Once I did it, this last part about calibrating off a fresh cut piece of wood made total sense! During installation I thought I'd have to somehow calibrate to the actual height and then never touch it, but truth is, calibration is super easy in case I ever accidentally reset it.... now it is neat to understand I can walk up to the planer and use it to measure a piece of wood too, so I don't need a separate gauge laying around! I didn't realize it did this when I bought it, but it makes sense how it is needed to then calibrate so easily.Ok, long winded and it would be so much easier to show via video. I wish I had done one. I am typing this from memory. I just did it an hour ago. Took me less than 30 minutes.Hopefully these notes help someone since Wixey's docs are so horrible!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great seller excellent product  well worth the money
*by K***K on June 21, 2025*

Wish I would of had this years ago works great takes the guess work and measuring time out of the picture.No more inconsistencies on the finished thicknessThe instructions on the utube video was spot onIf you use a planer get this you won't be sorry

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This readout uses 2 AAA batteries instead of the CR2032 battery used the the type 1 readout.
*by D***K on April 4, 2025*

This was easy to install because I replaced a WR510 type 1 that no longer worked. The replacement WR510 type 2 is great because it uses 2 AAA batteries. My only complaint is that when I read the thickness a board using the calibration steps, the reading matches exactly the reading I get using my Wixey Digital Calipers when using the INCH mode. When switching to the MM mode the WR510 reading is higher than the MM mode on the same digital calipers. The only other observation is that the MM mode on the WR510 displays only 1 digit to the right of the decimal point where the digital calipers display 2 digits to the right of the decimal point. I really like the ability to show both decimal inches in addition to fractional inches.
