TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
Inaccurate angle cuts
Loose fit
Slipping
Binding
Excessive play between
miter gauge body and
miter bar (rare)
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.
The adjustment for the
Miter Angle Dial
gear cluster mechanism is too loose.
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.
To troubleshoot this issue, check 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.
To fix this issue, 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
and adjustment to correct this. See ADJUSTING
PLAY IN THE GEAR CLUSTER on page 25 for
instructions.
