    Aftermarket Miter Gauge

    I have the Osborne EB-3 miter gauge. I like the feel of it and it is accurate. When I got it I put the sandpaper on the face of it as a safety factor. But I think I have lost some of the accuracy because the sandpaper causes a "hinge point" just because some of the grit is bigger and some is...

    Tension gauge for bandsaw

    I am considering picking up a tension gauge for my new bandsaw. I would first like to hear opinions on how critical this is. I've read in several places that blade tension is very important for better cuts and longer blade life. Thoughts?

    Osborne Excaliber 50-EB3 Miter Gauge Opinions?

    Found what looks like a good deal on one of these and only see one reference here from Gofor. Anybody else using these? Norm seems to use his a lot. FWW did a review in 2003 and trashed it. Tom Hintz reviewed it and really liked it. Not sure the timeframe between the two reviews and what...

    Audible bandsaw tension gauge

    So I took what I learned in that poll of plucked bandsaw blades (at SMC) and I created a web site where I allow the user to take a few measurements of their blade and saw, and determine the optimum frequency of their plucked blade based upon their desired tension. You can use a $13 chromatic...

    Angle gauge

    Which angle gauge do you like best? Wixey Digital - Which everyone seems to have, but I read about battery issues. Or Beall Tilt Box - Tom Hintz gave it a good review, plus I like the idea it uses 9 volt batteries. Both are about the same price, any strong opinions either way? :dontknow...

    Wixey Planer Gauge

    Not sure where to put this, since Wixey isn't exactly a "Power Tool." Does anyone have the Wixey Planer gauge? I'd like to install one on the Jet planer we got from Zac a while back. Any and all comments, suggestions, reviews, welcomed. Thanx. :notworthy:

    New Incra Miter Gauge

    Looks like the new Incra Miter 1000HD is the reason the SE has been on sale recently. I just bought the SE for $99 from Woodpeckers. The new HD is listed as $189. :eek: The difference is the number of angle stops (180 vs 41)

    Gauge Block from Scrap....

    Taking a queue from Tom Hintz and his website, I decided to try my hand at putting together a Gauge/stop block for my tablesaw... http://www.newwoodworker.com/buldgagblk.html Looking around the "shop", I managed to find several 12"x12" 3/4" plywood cutoffs sitting in a corner, a 1/4-20 T-nut...

    Improved Factory Miter Gauge

    I was really beginning to notice the shortcomings of the miter gauge that came with my TS. There was upwards of 1/16th of an inch of play between the guide (basically a flat washer) and the slot. The bar itself wasn't this loose, but it moved maybe 1/32nd or so. That error of course is...

    Wixey digital fence readout gauge

    I know several of us recently bought this gauge when Woodcraft had them on sale. I have installed mine but cannot get it calibrated correctly. The typical Chinese manual leaves much to be desired and doesn't mention how to calibrate it. I move the fence to the point that it is touching the blade...

    HF Digital Angle Gauge. Anyone used one?

    Has anyone used this Angle Gauge from Harbor Freight? Is it accurate? Can it be zeroed out against any surface like a Wixey? Or should I just wait for the Wixey to go on sale again?

    New Readout for Wixey Planer gauge

    I've known for quite awhile and can now finally post- Wixey has a new planer readout (model WR510) with slanted display which is much easier to read, auto-off, and improved mounting hardware. I don't know whether you can get them from retailers yet because they may still selling out their stock...
