Setup and Assembly
The miter gauge system requires assembly before use. Follow these general steps:
- Attach the aluminum miter fence to the miter gauge assembly using the provided screws and nuts. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Install the push table handle onto the main miter gauge body.
- Attach the limit stop and backer to the fence as needed for your specific cutting operations.
- Insert the miter rod into your table saw's standard 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch miter slot. The system is also applicable to 30mm or 45mm T tracks.
- Adjust the rubber rings on the miter rod to ensure a snug fit within the table saw's miter slot, minimizing play for accurate cuts.

Operating Instructions
Setting Angles
The miter gauge features an angle scale for precise adjustments. The locking mechanism allows the rotating part to be secured at any desired angle. For common angles, the system may include positive stops for quick and repeatable settings.
- To set an angle, loosen the locking mechanism.
- Rotate the miter gauge head to the desired angle indicated on the scale.
- Tighten the locking mechanism to secure the angle.
Figure 3: Detail of the angle adjustment and locking mechanism.
Making Cuts
Once the desired angle is set, position your workpiece against the miter fence. Use the push table handle to guide the miter gauge and workpiece smoothly through the saw blade. The limit stop can be used for repetitive cuts of the same length.
