Nyles Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just couldn't handle it any longer and had to take the plunge. A picture of my old stock miter gauge a picture of my new after market one... Quick setup question. When setting this up how close do I want the edge of the fence to the blade? The manual doesn't really specify a distance, only to give enough clearance? I am assuming as close as possible with making sure the blade while moving cant make any contact with the aluminum fence? This would be for a left miter slot setup if that matters... Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shaneymack Posted December 5, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Remember that when you set it close to the blade at 90° that it will hit the blade when you angle it. Put it next to the blade and turn it to left and right to where it isnt hitting anywhere then lock it in. Then add a sacrificial fence to it. Now you will see your kerf, have zero clearance and never accidentally run it through the blade after you angle it. .
