Has anyone used a dial indicator and...

a magnetic base to align a table saw? If so maybe you can answer a few questions I have about the procedure.

Tis true
Mike certainly knows how to align a tablesaw . . . and replace arbor shaft and bearings :icon_thum

Stuart, you are welcome to borrow my dial indicator and Wixey digital angle gauge. It's a great tool to check blade to table, mitre gauge, and numerous other settings.

Thanks Roger, I just may take you up on that.

If you use the jig in John White's book "Care and Repair of Shop Machines" you don't need the magnetic base. It is a block of wood clamped to the miter gauge. Really simple, but accurate. Does what $100 plus tools do except drain your wallet.
