Key Features
The FITFINDER 1/2 Gauge allows you to find the 1/2 thickness of any material up to 3″ thick. Create perfectly fitting joints with zero guesswork, set fences and transfer cutting depths instantly—all with no math or measuring.
The FITFINDER 1/2 Gauge automatically finds the center of your workpiece using simple geometry. Lock the measurement in place and set the cutting depth of your saw blade/router bit, or set fences.
- Match the material’s thickness – Place material under P2, then lower P2 so that it rests on top of the material.
- Find the 1/2 point – The bottom of P3 automatically adjusts to exactly 1/2 the thickness of the material.
- Transfer measurement – Lock in the measurement and use the FITFINDER to set cutting depths and fences.
Use it around your shop.

Half Lap Joints
Rail & Stile Joints
The FITFINDER was conceived while founder and inventor, Henry Wang, was developing the Dado Stop. While the Dado Stop solved the problem of cutting the width of a dado, setting the dado’s depth for half-laps still proved challenging. Henry realized that the solution was already there—from a Greek mathematician that lived over 2 millenia ago—Pythagoras. He applied this simple principle of geometry to a common woodworking process, and the FITFINDER was born.
