Once every thing is parallel, the miter gauge can be squared by putting

I've seen some pretty rough cast iron table edges :-). Perhaps the old
cut a board and flip one half over trick might work better in those cases.

And I always do the squaring process by squaring the blade to the slot,
and then the fence to the slot. Voila! - the blade is parallel to the
fence.

But if you tend to use either slot as seems best, be sure the slots are
parallel to each other. DAMHIKT.
