Has anyone installed this on the Steel City 40100 planer? If so, how did it work out for you?

No not yet. I have the digital measurement but it does not look like a straight forward add- I have a DeWalt planer for which I will try to install in the next month or so

I want a feb. '18 reply from the seller: if i order this now will it use aaa batteries? is this the one called type 2 on the wixey site?

This unit uses 2 AAA batteries. Realitively easy to change.

What type of battery is used by the unit that you, not woodcraft, are selling?

If you go to Wixey's site, you will find that they have actually made/sold TWO versions of the WR510. One version (Type 1?) uses the coin-shaped CR2032 battery(s). The other version (Type 2?) uses "triple A" (AAA) batteries - I think 2. Soooo... Depending upon when and from whom you bought/buy your WR510 - the unit will require either CR2032 OR AAA batteries. It will be up to you to ask the question (of Rockler, Woodcraft, etc.), before your purchase, if it makes a difference to you. My preference if for the AAA-powered version. Reason: You can buy replacement AAA batteries ANYWHERE - even in the Himalayas! Not so with the CR2032. Some may say the one battery style will last longer than the other. But that is not significant to me - I'm going for readily available replacements.(Not to mention that I think the AAA are probably less expensive and I have numerous laying around the house.)

Can this be installed on a large planer? I have a 24" wide planer that goes up to 6" thickness.

Most likely. It just needs a place to mount to the side of the blade path where the body can screw to the moving part of the planer and the ruler can touch someplace in plane with the bed.
