Our customer overseas in the USA has sent us some great pictures of the successful install of his new Wixey Remote Planer Readout (with fractions) to his current Jet Planer Model JJP-12.

Ideal for large planers and sanders, and measures up to 300mm (12"), the Wixey Remote Planer Readout is a kit that can be adapted to a number of woodworking machines, including planers, sanders, and combination machines. It’s an easy to install kit with simple calibration, the package will arrive with all mounting hardware, drill bits, and thread forming screws. For even easier readability, it has a large digital display which reads in inches with fractions or millimetres.

This model is so flexible and versatile, with a little creativity it can be adapted to almost any machine in your workshop.
