It is not often that measuring tools designed for the sighted can be easily used by a blind person. The following gauges were designed for the sighted, but work great for a blind person. They have print markings on them, but you don't have to be able to read the markings to use the gauges with ease and accuracy.
Here are a couple of depth setting gauges that work great and are easily used by a blind person. They are made out of aluminum and won't harm your valuable blades or router bits. They straddle the blade or bit and are quite accurate. I have been using these for years and love them. I have been looking for them to get a second set and they are not easy to find. I ran across them while I was looking for something else and thought I would pass the information alont to others. They can be found at the Woodcraft Store. Their information is as follows. Woodcraft 1-800-225-1153 http://www.woodcraft.com ---------- Router and Saw Depth Gauges These aluminum gauges make saw or router set up fast and easy. Just set the gauge across your blade or cutter and adjust to the required setting. Both are clearly marked in inches (both fractional and decimal) and millimeters. The Router Depth Gauge is designed for setting cutter depths from 1/16" to 1-1/2" in 1/16" increments. The Saw Depth Gauge can be used to set blades on radial arm, hand held circular and table saws from 1/8" to 2" in 1/8" increments.
