ABSTRACT:
A device for determining the distance of a cutting tool, for instance a router bit, relative to a first reference surface or a second reference surface, the second reference surface extending essentially perpendicular to the first reference surface. The device has a central body, a pair of feet mounted to the central body, the feet being spaced apart so as to be able to accommodate between them the cutting tool, and a pointing element slidably arranged relative to the central body. In a horizontal mode of operation, when the feet are placed on or against the first reference surface, the pointing element may be moved relative to the central body to abut the cutting tool for determining the distance between the cutting tool and the first reference surface. At least one of the feet is configured to set the height of the pointer element with respect to the second reference surface.
