A quick and accurate method to square your miter gauge:

I know I have started threads in the past that describe this method,
but I finally put it in a video. If a picture speaks a thousand
words... Yeah, I know, there are dozens of methods for doing this
and that the 'old dogs' that use a square pushed against the blade
and the miter gauge will never change but...

Enjoy

This presumes that the blade is aligned dead on with the
miter slot.


If it isn't you've got other problems.

It would also help to have an extension fence attached
to the miter gauge face, for the same reason that you use a
#8 to joint an edge instead of a block plane.

That said, I now have another use for my indicator and my
18" Starrett combo square.
