Micro Adjustment of Table Saw Fence in increments as small as 0.001 inch. Demonstrated on SawStop T-Glide
Moving a table saw fence by very small amounts can be hit and miss. With a dial indicator at the right location on the fence, I found it is easy to tap the fence and move it by 0.001 inch at a time.
Locate the probe of dial indicator over the fence rail so that dial indicator does not change when the fence is tightened - see red circle in photo below.
A couple of times I have found this fine adjustment helpful:
- Cutting UHMW runners to fit nicely in the miter slot for floats
- Cutting mortise and tenon joints on table saw, to get a good fit.
For all other work I just use the measuring tape built into the fence rail. The table saw cut usually gets run over the jointer anyway.
