New Miter Gauge

[Harvey Melvin Richards]

We needed a new miter gauge at work, so I built one (2 actually). I still don't have the parts that align the head made, but it's functional as it is.

That looks a little whimpy. Maybe you should make a heavy duty version:D

Looks great !!! Quick question - where did you get the flip stops ?

[Kyle Brooks]

Cutting bridge planks on your table saw????? LOL Sweet deal you can make your own and can probably adjust your own tolerances.

[Bruce Page]

Well done! I was impressed with your first post but your heavy duty model with the radial locating holes is really sweet!

I got the flip stops 15 years ago, so I don't recall where they came from. I will try to look at them to see if they have a name on them.

As far as the weight of the miter gauges, heavy makes for a smoother cut, although it can be a problem when moving to and from the saw.

Send me yours and I'll send you my Incra 1000 SE.
Beautiful work.

Here is a close up of the flip stop. The patent was issued to Mark Duginske. I'm still not sure where I bought it, possibly Woodcraft Supply.

Thanks for doing all the digging. I will check with them - gives me a good reason to swing by the store : )

I think that flip stop is an old version from Woodhaven. I have the same stops (probably 15 years old) but they have a newer design in their current catalog.

I was thinking it might be Woodhaven, but I noticed the new one on the site. I also wasn't sure of the Mark Duginske connection. I was occasionally buying from Woodhaven 15 years ago. I also have another one without the micro adjuster.

Harvey,
I think everyone agrees here that we all need a new mitre gauge! :o

Well Done!

[Harvey Melvin Richards]

The miter gauges are mostly finished now. I might come up with a flip-stop to make in the future.

Those gauges are great. Have you ever considered making them for sliding table saws. Many companies use them to anchor the crosscut fence. I like having several fences for different reasons and a gauge on each. Granted there isn't much uniformity but they sure would beat most of what's out there. Dave

Thanks, we aren't looking for new markets, an nobody could afford what I'd have to charge for these. We manufacture automated electronic industry machinery and one of these will only be used on plastics (the other one I made for my own woodshop use).

Wow...that's impressive!
