I put one of those Wixey’s on my table saw a long time ago. At the time I wasn’t using the ts all that often and nearly every time I turned on the Wiley the battery was dead. I gave up on it. Maybe they’ve improved?

I am not a huge fan of battery powered scales. Rather have reliable 120v power. Just have to pay the commercial electric bill, instead of buying batteries. Lol

Most everything I needed has arrived. Some new, some cheap, some quality used.

I’ve had great battery life with this one because it uses 2 each AAA batteries. I’ve changed batteries once in 5 years.

The Wixey I’ve had terrible battery life with is the one on my planer because it uses 2 each 2012 coin cells...absolutely horrific, kind of like your table saw, almost every time I use it.  [mad] [mad] [mad]

Just noticed Mitutoyo now makes one.

I wrote Wixey and got a reply in less than 5 minutes!

They did upgrade the sliding head to use 2 AAA batteries instead of a dinky watch battery and now the power lasts about 2 years. And the new head fits on the original (and still the same) track/scale.

I’m gonna give it another go.

Starting to get this figured out.
