<p>Hi chuck!</p>
<p>The answer to your question is yes. After spending a few years in a machine shop, and many years remodeling houses, I've found that a good rule of thumb is if you move anything, recheck for accuracy. Unfortunately, pretty much all of my mistakes were caused by my lack of diligence. You are lucky, though, that you ended up long. My rather large pile of "on hand stock" is a result of my luck going the other way. Be patient...take your time...and above all, keep trying. Making…</p>

My rather large pile of "on hand stock" is a result of my luck going the other way. Be patient...take your time...and above all, keep trying. Making stuff is very self satisfying. It's the pros that make it look easy. They weren't always pro, either, ya know.</p> In other words, each time I w…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2011-07-30:2900167:Comment:2929762011-07-30T16:57:42.770ZChuck Curryhttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/ChuckCurry
In other words, each time I want to make an angled cut I have to re-calibrate the scale, then when I'm done I need to again re-calibrate the scale back to 90 degrees?

Doh... That's a certifiable "what was I thinkin" Thanks for the catch Bob.<br/><br/><cite>Bob S said:</cite>
<blockquote><div>If you set the gauge relative to the blade at 90, then move it to 45, the end of the gauge is going to move further away from the blade as it pivots resulting in a longer than desired cut.</div>

<p>My first guess is that the flip stop isn't wide enough to properly register the stock. Did it stop at the extreme end of the point, or somewhere down on the angle?</p>
<p>Second guess would be that you set the stop with the guage at the 45 position to the closest point on the blade. Set the flip with the guage in the 90 position.</p>

I would say your setup for the tape measure is 9\16 off check from blade to 19 1/4. Good thing your not to short.
