It is handy in the general sense since it swings down when needed and up out of the way when not needed. Currently I never/have never used this ruler on any miter gauge so I find it superfluous and would have gladly traded the feature for a lower price.Īnother minor issue is the above mentioned board stop. There is a fare amount of hardware installed on the miter gauge to make this all possible. This is ok, in the sense that the installed ruler tape (which is set up to position the board stop distance from the blade) is accurate. cut after having moved the fence previously. There is a pin that allows the fence to reposition exactly when setting the miter back up for a 90 deg. Now of course this is a 'must' feature so you can position the fence close to the blade when cutting at an angle or swapping in a dado set. There is a feature where the fence can be released from the base and slid left/right (same as the hex screws on the Incra. At some point I'll do a proper write up w/pictures, but here are a few things that I found.
