Hi everyone,

Thought I would ask this here because everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful.

I was setting up my miter saw (Harbor freight 10in sliding) and after alot of adjusting of the fence (which I think was not machined 100% strait) I finally got it square to the blade on both sides (checking with an accurate combination square) and square to eachother across the length of the fence (with a strait edge level), this was more challenging, and sealed the bolts with threadlock. Checked the blade bevel and was dead on out of the box. Next I checked the cut/miter gauge with the following method

I finally got the saw on point, however a true zero is a little to the right of the detent/automatic stop. This is annoying because I can easily shift to my true zero because it is not tin the automatic stop/detent. Anyone else with this problem? Any advice on what I should do? The miter gauge/scale is not adjustable you can just move the pointer.  Thanks for any help.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
