across the table.
Excessive play between
miter gauge body and
miter bar (rare).
Tightening Grip is not

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
The angle cuts may not be precise due
to the miter gauge being improperly
aligned with the saw blade.
The miter gauge may be loose and
move around during use, causing
inaccurate cuts.
The workpiece may slip out of place
while cutting, causing inaccurate cuts.
The miter gauge may bind or become
stuck during use preventing accurate
cuts.

gear cluster mechanism is too loose.

SOLUTION
Refer to CALIBRATION on page 21 of this manual
for detailed procedures to ensure blade alignment
to the miter gauge and miter slot is correct.
See the chapter called ADJUST THE MITER BAR FIT
on page 7 of this manual for detailed procedures
to remedy this.
Check the Grip on the miter gauge and confirm
that it is sufficiently tightened before beginning
cutting operations.
Also, ensure you are taking care to firmly hold
your workpiece against the miter gauge fence
during cutting operations.
Check for any debris or sawdust that may be
interfering with the movement of the miter gauge.
Clean the miter gauge, saw table surface and the
miter slots thoroughly before use.
In rare cases, there may be minor imperfections in
the milling of the miter slot on your tool. Careful
and judicious use of a fine metal file to reduce high
spots on the sidewall of the miter slot may be
required to remedy this issue.
Your Revolution Miter Gauge is designed with an
adjustment to correct this. See ADJUSTING PLAY
IN THE GEAR CLUSTER on page 25 for instructions.
