Design Note

The micro-adjust is designed so that the nylon screws line up with 
the t-track slot. You have to turn the nylon screws a long way 
before they actually engage the auxiliary fence and start to change 
the angle. This design minimizes the chances you will accidentally 
add an adjustment to the angle you are setting.

Setting the Micro-Adjust

When using the micro-adjust, it is much easier to set your angle on 
the left side of the scale, as pictured above. If you must use the 
right side of the scale, you will need to remove the positioning block 
from your fence and you will be moving the fence a lot that may 
affect the accuracy of your micro-adjust setting.

Setting the Micro-Adjust using Feeler Gauges

1)  Set the angle to the nearest 1/10 deg.
2)  Place a small block of wood on the miter gauge & use a  

 

 

spring clamp to hold the fence in position.

3)  Loosen the plastic knobs that attach the auxiliary fence.
5)  Turn out the plastic micro adjuster screw until it pushes  

 

 

against the fence. You may need to use a 3/16” Allen    

 

 

wrench to turn the micro adjuster screw against the    

 

 

pressure of the spring clamp. Keep turning it until you can  

 

 

just insert the correct size feeler gauge between the fence  

 

 

and the miter gauge.

4)   Tighten the plastic knobs.
6)   Try to remove the Feeler Gauge. If it just slides out, you are  

 

 

done. However, you may have to slightly loosen the plastic  

 

 

knob next to the micro adjuster and turn out the micro  

 

 

adjuster screw to get the exact setting.

Setting the Micro-Adjust using a Dial Caliper

1)  Set the fence even with the edge of the miter gauge.
2)  Set the angle to the nearest 1/10 deg.
3)  Place a small block of wood on the miter gauge & use a  

 

 

spring clamp to hold the fence in position.

4)  Loosen the plastic knobs that attach the auxiliary fence.
5)  Place a dial caliper in the notch and zero the scale.
6)  Turn out the plastic micro adjuster screw until it pushes  

 

 

against the fence. Keep turning it until the dial indicator  

 

 

reads the correct spacing. You may need to use a 3/16”  

 

 

Allen wrench to turn the micro adjuster screw against the  

 

 

pressure of the spring clamp.

7)  Tighten the plastic knobs and remove the spring clamp.
