I've had a Jet 14" bandsaw for about 20 years now and have never used it for anything precision.. It, at the time, didn't come with a miter gauge.. or if it did, I put it away for safe keeping and can't find it.. I've never needed it.
That said, I'd like to get one and incorporate a sled on the saw. I borrowed a miter gauge off another saw that fits properly.. but, when I use it, I notice the gauge hangs up on the slot in the saw table. The alignment pin is installed and tapped home but there iis a slight mismatch between sides of the slot.
So the grand question is.. how do I fix this..? I know I can have the table top re-machined which would be pretty costly, I'm guessing... but, might there be other solutions I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for any advice.
