alignment solution

Here is my solution to aligning my table saw, etc. I took a miter guage I don't use, drilled and tapped holes, mounted a plate, and attach my magnetic dial guage to it. Now my saw is within .001.

Re: alignment solution

Cool setup, and I like the price, "0" just a little "tool time"

Re: alignment solution

Nice set up, especially the Starrett gauge. John White in his book, "Care and Repair of Shop Machines" shows how to use a couple scraps of wood and a dial indicator to do the same thing.
