The most reliable and accurate way to do this is with a dial indicator and tool that rides perfectly up and down the miter slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Woodpecker Saw Gauge is engineered to expertly satisfy this need. It's the first alignment tool that automatically adjusts to the width of the miter slot through the use of three precision ground steel pins. Regardless whether the slot is 5\/8” wide like many older saws, 3\/4” wide like most current models or even somewhat over-sized; this unique arrangement will ensure a perfect fit and smooth traveling up and down the miter slot. No tools, no adjustments, just instant alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother exclusive feature is its ability to be set one distance to align the blade then in an instant be reset to a different distance for checking the fence and back to the exact original location for comparison measurements. No knobs, no tools, no recalibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the parts of the Woodpecker Saw Gauge are made in the U.S.A. except for the dial indicator which is imported.

When you need the fence extended, you don't have to go back to using a tape or rule.

When we designed the Exact-90 miter gauge, one of our engineers came up with a brilliantly simple solution. An adjustable pin rests on top of the material and keeps the miter fence where it belongs. We decided to name it for exactly what it does…it stops the flop. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndexed Stops and Hairline Reticle \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne simple button precisely sets the angles for common polygon miters and square. Just press the button and turn the protractor. The tapered pin locates your angle precisely and holds it while you tighten the handle. For all other angles there's a laser-engraved hairline on a crystal-clear acrylic window. Just align laser-line to laser-line and you'll get a perfect angle.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Spring Miter Bar with T-Slot Retainers Leaf Spring Miter Bar with T-Slot Retainers \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTable saw miter slots vary from brand to brand and saw to saw. Even worse, poor machining and decades of use can lead to slots that vary. Our patented leaf spring miter bar adapts to any table saw with a \"nominal\" 3\/8\" x 3\/4\" miter slot…even if the slot is a little too narrow, a little too wide or varies from end to end. The 4 springs keep pressure against the wall of the slot and adapt to any changes, keeping the bar perfectly aligned.  If your table saw has a T-slot, a pair of retainers keep the bar from falling out when extended off the table. If you don't have a T-slot, the retainers come off in seconds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConverts to a Miter Sled \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you prefer a miter sled to a miter gauge, you can add the Miter Sled Upgrade Kit to your in-DEXABLE Miter Gauge.

He just couldn't buy into the idea of putting the arbor nut directly against the dado blade.

It uses the standard SawStop arbor wrenches. Just use it in place of the factory arbor washer and arbor nut. Dado Nuts are turned on our state-of-the-art CNC Swiss lathes and held to strict tolerance for flatness and thread accuracy. We make them from a special heat-treated steel that holds up to repeated installation and removal. And, since the washer and nut are secured to each other, blade changes go smoother and faster than ever. When you take the dado blade off and put your normal saw blade back on, you'll probably decide to use your Dado Nut for that, too…it's just that good. Dado Nut is threaded with 5\/8\"-12 tpi right-hand Acme threads. This will fit some other saws in addition to SawStop. It will not fit any saw with left-hand threads, which would include most saws where the blade tilts to the right, rather than the left. Some SawStop ICS (Industrial) models built before 2014 have a slightly different thread. If you have an ICS from before 2014, order DADONUT-ICS10 instead of DADONUT-SS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLike all Woodpeckers products, \u003c\/strong\u003eDado Nut is precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, facility just south of Cleveland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe SawStop brand name is the registered trademark of the respective company and is not associated with Woodpeckers, LLC.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"SawStop Models Built After 2014 (SS)","offer_id":43526149963835,"sku":"DADONUT-SS","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SawStop Models Built Before 2014 (ICS10)","offer_id":43526149996603,"sku":"DADONUT-ICS10","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/6652\/2939\/files\/Dado-Nut_WEB_Shopify_01.jpg?v=1782151155"},{"product_id":"in-dexable-thinrip-guide","title":"in-DEXABLE ThinRip Guide","description":"\u003ch4\u003eFits Most Saws.
