Leon,

Hartville Tools has the V27 on sale now for 59,99, but that includes the 24 inch extension kit and
the flip stop. Page 20 of their Spring catalog, also on the web site. I'm fixin' to order one to
replace my stock Jet gauge.

You might consider making a set of finger joint attachments to mount on a sled. With a pair of
runners, it should always run true.

A final thought. I seem to recall one of the mags (FWW? PW?) giving a thumbs up to the Grizzly
standard gauge as being pretty good and very cheap for what you got. Probably in an issue 2-3
years ago. HTH.


Regards,
Roy

I cant recommend a cheap miter gauge but can recommend to "not" get the EB3 if you are looking for a miter gauge that stays where it is locked and won't flex much. It does not stay put and the adjustment bar flexes when extended to the 45 degree setting. Where have I seen the before??? ;~)

With that said, the Osborn has been marked way down to about $100 if you want CHEAP and only use it in the 90 degree setting.

I presently have a stock Delta with a homemade fence as most of you probably have. I also have a Incra 1000SE that I use 90% of the time, primarilly for quick 90drgree cuts because it is dead accurate. I am aslo thinking about an Osborne EB3.

But, the purpose of this post is to find a cheap miter gauge to build jigs on. Right now, I want to make a Finger/finger Joint jig. I have found the following:

1. Woodhaven 950 MiterMatic at $19.99 from Amazon
2. Incra MITERV27 Miter V27 Miter Gauge at $54.97 from Amazon
3. Clamping Miter Gauge at $44.95 from Woodcraft

And of course, there are all the stock ones that come with the saws.

Any ideas? Experiences?

Obviously, for 20 bucks, im not looking for a Porsche, but I do want one that will stay where it is locked and won't flex much.
