I have becoming very frustrated with trying to set fence alignment on my old RT. They just imprinted a scale on the RT surface that has worn off very quickly!
Last week I received the latest issue of Woodsmith magazine (Vol. 28 / No. 167) in the mail and low and behold they had my solution! I made a version of their Fence Alignment Gauge from some scrap cherry. It actually seems to work very well and so simple to make! (Did have little trouble getting the brass threaded insert into that hard old cherry though!:BangHead: That is some really hard wood! Harder I believe than the red oak I have used in the past. Every day is a learning experience - with WOOD!!!
Here is the new gauge....
Thanks for lookin',
