MITER GAUGE
NOTE:
The
slots
for the stop pin and the graduations
are
manufactured
1:o very
close
tolerances
which
provide
accuracy
for

In some
cases where
extreme
accuracy
is required,
when

example,
make a trial
cut and then
recheck
it.
If necessary,
the miter
gauge head can be swiveled
slightly
to compensate
for any inaccuracy.

HEELING
ADJUSTMENT
or PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE
TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE
While
cutting,
the
material
must

line
PARALLEL
to
the
SAWBLADE
...
therefore
both
the
miter
gauge
GROOVE
and
the
RIP
FENCE
must
be
PARALLEL
to the SAWBLADE.
If the sawbladc
IS NOT
parallel
to the miter
gauge groove,
the blade will
bind
at one end of the cut.
(This is known
as
"HEELING").
To check for parallelism:
