Q: What is a miter gauge used for?
A miter gauge like this one guides stock across a table saw blade at a set angle, so you get precise, repeatable angle and square cuts.
86N4296 - JessEm Mite-R-Excel II Miter Gauge with Micro-Adjuster

Sturdy, accurate and easy to set up and use, this miter gauge permits precise, repeatable angle and square cuts on a table saw.
Made of CNC-machined aluminum with stainless-steel parts and a rolled-steel guide bar, it has a laser-etched protractor head with detents at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45°. The spring-loaded indexing pin lets you quickly set any angle between the detents on either side of 0°, and the lower vernier scale lets you fine-tune the setting in 1/10° increments.
The 20" long extruded fence extends to 36". It has a right-to-left reading Imperial/metric scale and accepts a user-made sacrificial sub-fence up to 3/4" thick (mounting hardware included). For precise, repeatable stock positioning, it has a flip stop that permits up to 3/4" of adjustment and has a micro-adjuster that fine-tunes the stop position 1/32" per turn.
The gauge mounts in a standard 3/4" wide by 3/8" deep miter slot and has bar snugger screws in the guide bar to permit low-friction travel and remove lateral play within the slot.
Assembly required.
Made in Canada from high-quality, precision-machined materials for years of dependable service.
A miter gauge like this one guides stock across a table saw blade at a set angle, so you get precise, repeatable angle and square cuts.
It mounts in a standard 3/4" wide by 3/8" deep miter slot, and bar snugger screws remove lateral play, but it's worth checking your saw's slot dimensions before ordering.
Set the protractor head to a detent or dial in a precise angle on the vernier scale, then guide the fence and workpiece through the blade together for a consistent cut.
