Oneway makes a great jig and dial indicator for setting tablesaws,
jointer blades, etc. It's actually good enough to use for metalwork
setup which requires a lot more precision than wood. About $ 80.

All in all, the saw cuts a lot better now. I went to get a dial
indicator, but non I found had the accessories to get the job done
right. I passed on that for the time being and simply used by dial
calliber, roofing square, and a level to do my set up. I guess this
shows that time and care have a lot to do with how well your stuff
performs. Additional tools are good, and I will be getting a new fence
and a proper dial indicator, but just taking the time can make a
significant difference. Sort of like that NordicTrack sitting in my
bedroom, it's state of the art but won't lose me a pound unless I take
time to use it.

Thanks for all your advice.
