"James,

John Schaben replied to perry macphee's discussion 'precision miter gauge'"The nylon guide bar play adjustment is different than the 90° adjustment,, at least on the INCRA.

Ken Darga replied to perry macphee's discussion 'precision miter gauge'"Perry,
Check your table saw---
the miter slot needs to be parallel to the saw blade, before truing up the miter gauge."

I would think the Kreg would have similar."

I thought my saw was out so I chalked the fence and ran it up tight to the blade so i could spin by hand and slid back to check.The pattern is pretty consistant half moon. If I use the nylon shoes on the bottom of the tool,they catch the table edge and I have to bump the tool to get it to move.Kinda dangerous when the saw is running.And it also binds in the miter groove because of the over hang past the…See More
