I built this Height Gauge a while back and it works great but now I want to build another gauge for micro fine adjusting. I will use a dial indicator and be able to adjust to 1/1000th of an inch.
I did mine by hand but a clamp may work easier.

Next I mark and drill the center for the stem of the dial indicator.
With the band saw I notch out the bottom.
Everything is cut and I put in the dial indicator. A small set screw was installed to keep the dial secure.

A foot was also added to the spindle for more surface to touch the top of the blade.
