If you own a table saw and you need to make a crosscut at any angle then you know how valuable a miter gauge can be. You may also know that the miter gauge that came with your saw is not terribly accurate or durable. Not to mention that the fit in the miter slot may not be all that great as well. The Fulton Miter Gauge is a high quality, well thought out and economical solution to your table saw cross cutting needs.The .200" thick, adjustable, solid aluminum head is machined with 13 positive stop holes. 1 hole is at 90 degrees while the 6 holes on both sides are at 22.5, 30, 45, 60, 67.5 and 90 degrees. The positive stops are perfect for many woodworking projects as they are the angles that are typically used more often than then others. To adjust the head you simply loosen the post knob handle, pull the spring loaded indexing pin outward, rotate the head to the desired position, release the pin and lock into place by tightening the post knob handle. The aluminum head has two " x ½" slots milled into it for mounting a miter fence if so desired. The slots are approximately 1-1/8" from the base of the miter gauge head. The head is mounted to a solid steel miter bar that measure 18" in length and is .353" thick by .730" wide. Standard miter slots (not Craftsman or Sears branded items) are 3/4" x 3/8" with a 1/8" "T" slot (with slight variances from brand to brand) running the length on the bottom of the slot. The steel miter bar is equipped with a metal, removable retaining disc that measures 7/8" in diameter and is just shy of 1/8" to fit into to the "T" slot to prevent accidental lifting when feeding your stock through. If your saw does not have a "T" slot, you can remove the disc. The steel miter bar is also equipped with spring loaded, adjustable plungers on the side of the bar. The plungers can be adjusted with the provide hex key wrench in our out to provide you with the ideal fit for your table saw. The Fulton Miter Gauge comes calibration instructions.
