Delta Heavy DutyMiter Gauge

[Ken Frohnert]

I am getting a 1980s 1.5 hp Unisaw set up in my woodworking area. I just got power a couple of weeks ago and now have 220 available. I am putting on the Bies fence I got a Lowes for $100. However, it came with no miter gauge. I was looking at the local hardware place and they have a Delta Heavy Duty Miter Gauge - it looked pretty nice. From reading the other thread on miter gauges it seems like the Osborn and Incra were getting votes and even the kreg. The delta looked very nice to me but I am a novice. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on the Delta? What is a good price for this?

Hi Ken,
That Delta gauge appears to be an Osborne design except it is missing the slide-out extension that the Osborne EB-3 comes with.

I would just go ahead and get the Osborne EB-3 (about $109).
