Free Saw Stop Miter Gauge

[JSJ]

Howdy! Santa brought me a new upgraded miter gauge (didn't know he had a sub-contract with Jessem!). So I have the original miter gauge that came with my table saw last year. Just PM me, thanks!

Just a suggestion, I'd hang on to it and if you have specific job you do frequently leave it set up for it. Ie. 45 for picture frames. add a custom fence.

I was thinking the same thing! I have three (usually unused since I have been concentrating on hand work for the past few years, but they REALLY come in handy when you need multiple set-ups...

I have little crappy POS mitre gage I thought I had thrown out but low and behold I was looking for something to use on my bandsaw when I ran into it. Was a great find considering 90% of the time I buy something for a specific purpose and it vaporizes before I use it.

My shop is testament to the philosophy of never throwing away a potentially useful tool - or something you could make it from.

Laughing, because that is my excuse too!

I second that ! But seriously, you can use the glide bar on other things like setting up a sliding table for calibrating with a dial caliper

Thanks everyone. I never thought of just dialing it in for 45 and keeping it set. I'll attach a wooden fence and be all set. Thanks!

Make yourself a 45 degree sliding table, using bar as runner. This way, you never have to check and make sure it's a 45. Back when I was building cabinets, often I would need to put a work space shelf on the wall, complete with knee braces. Still have my 45 degree sled today.
