If you really like precision, some of us bought a TS-Aligner Jr
to do precise alignment of a tablesaw.

It's just me, but I can't see paying over a hundred bucks for something
you can make with a dial indicator from Harbor freight and some scrap
wood/metal. I made one and it's accurate... certainly more than accurate
enough for woodworking.



Id's also suggest a Wixey Angle guage. I got one from Rockler for $20
recently.

It's a much easier way to set precise blade tilt.


I second that.

The BealeBox and iGaging (makes the Beale) AngleCube have magnets on
three sides with make it a little more convenient.
