If your miter guide is loose in the track, take a punch and make about 3 indents along each side of the runner (one on each end and one in the middle), if to tight, file untill it fits. This takes all the play out of your miter gage. Joe

What Joe is suggesting will work -- The center punch needs to be placed close to the edge as you are looking down on the gauge and a tap on a hammer will flare the metal out beyond the 3/4" width. Do all of the adjustments on just one side of the bar to keep it dead straight -- if it is too loose, tap them a little deeper; if too tight, file the flared out part slightly and try the fit again. HTH.

HTH. Maybe that will work too, but the way I learned to do it was to use the center punch on the side of the miter bar, not the top. It raise a dimple that will tighten the miter bar in the miter slot. As said, one at the top, one at the bottom and one in the middle. | |
