Osborne EB 3 Miter Gage

[Dan Henry]

If the Osborne is good enough for Norm It must be good enough for me!! Before Christmas I was a local Rocker store and they had a Delta knock off of the Osborne on a Delta saw and tried to find it on the Delta site but could not find it. Look at the Osborne site and they had the EB 3 on sale for $109, ordered it and a it is is a great miter gage. Had trouble with the bar not adjusting to fit my saw slot Grizzly 1023 older model, they sent a new bar and it fits good and the gage is a joy to use.

I saw in an earlier NY show that Norm was using a EB2 but in the later shows he is using their EB 3, the EB 3 has red on the angle piece. The sand paper they include sure is coarse.

The sale price is now $118.95 plus shipping

Thanks for the info, Dan. I was looking at getting one when I get a tablesaw. It is always nice to hear first hand info on these.

Dan, Thats a pretty good price. I paid, I think, $169 about 2 years ago when Amazon still had them.

Sounds like a nice deal. I paid a lot more for mine a few yrs ago too. Overall I'm pretty happy with it but there are a few things about it that annoy me. I put the sticky sandpaper on the fence and invariably some rubs off and gouges the saw top a bit. So I have a bunch of little sand tracks on my saw. The other issue is that I can't simultaneously have it be accurate for 90 deg and 45 deg. If it is spot on at 90 and I want to switch to 45 I have to use my 45 deg triangle and adjust it using the fine adjust. I keep meaning to call them about it, but have been lazy and since it's rare that I need to quickly switch back and forth, I haven't felt pushed to contact them. It's also now confusing to figure who 'them' is.

I've never seen the EB3 for less than 150 until you guys shared these deals. Breaks my heart since I paid over 160 for mine a couple of years ago. But I still have no regrets after trying several different kinds and being disappointed. I love this one and have no plans to ever buy another one. This is a bargain for 99 bucks.

Yeah, I know Dennis. I've been mulling it over for about a week now. Just can't decide if it would be better than my Incra 1000SE. Might be a nice addition to my new SC cab saw which is awesome.

my wife bought the Eb3 for me for Christmas to go with my Ridgid TS3650 and so far I really like it, far better than the gauge that comes with the TS 3650. this is my first post on this site so here we go!!!!

It was $109.00 on their website
