Micro Adjustment of Table Saw Fence in increments as small as 0.001 inch. Demonstrated on SawStop T-Glide

Moving a table saw fence by very small amounts can be hit and miss.

With a dial indicator at the right location on the fence, I found it is easy to tap the fence and move it by 0.001 inch at a time.   

 

Locate the probe of dial indicator over the fence rail so that dial indicator does not change when the fence is tightened - see red circle in photo below.

 

A couple of times I have found this fine adjustment helpful:

1. Cutting UHMW runners to fit nicely in the miter slot for floats

2. Cutting mortise and tenon joints on table saw, to get a good fit.

 

For all other work I just use the measuring tape built into the fence rail. The table saw cut usually gets run over the jointer anyway.
