TS Aligner?

[Woodman2k]

Does anybody in my area,Iredell,MECK,or Rowan county have a Deluxe tablesaw Aligner that I could borrow/horsetrade for about 3 days.My table saw needs a good tuneup and I've used one before and it works great.I noticed as I push my material through the blade area I get some tip[ ringing as the wood clears the edge of the blade.I have a problem everytime I tilt the blade to 45 degrees to make some cuts and after I return it to 90 I start having alignment related problems.

I have one, but I'm in Charlotte in the Rocky River area to the east side of the city. You can borrow it if nothing else falls thru.

Greg,

I cobbled together this little sled to hold a dial indicator and use it to align both blade to the mitre slot and blade to the fence. (Idea was courtesy of non other than Joe Scharle - the jig master.) Just took a piece of 3/4 ply, 1 1/2 piece of flat steel (for the magnetic base of the indicator, screws and a runner. It works great and took about 45 minutes to put it together.





(Sorry 'bout the fuzzy pics.)

Jeremy,
I may have to make a run to drop off some items at Bodabings and he lives off 485 at the 521 exit so at that point from Mooresville I figure I've driven near everybody at some point.I will PM you if the chance arises.

Wayne,
I built something very similar to your jig but I don't have an indicator yet.I was using a dowel pin adjusted to just touch the teeth of the blade but doing it that way is too slow.

Thanx guys for the response,
Greg

Beg, borrow, or steal, or even buy a copy of John White's book, "Care and Repair of Shop Machines." He shows how to use a couple scraps of wood and a dial indicator to do the same work as A-Line It, and Master plate.
