Abstract
A gauge for connecting with a power tool and providing a system for determining structural factors of a workpiece to be operated upon by the power tool is provided by the present invention. The gauge including a probe connected with a sensor via a spring, wherein contact by the probe with the workpiece allows a reading by the sensor which may be utilized to determine the proper operational settings of the power tool based on the determined structural factors of the workpiece.
