>>>>>>>>>>>> What an idiot. Do *YOU* see a 70.6 degree setting on that fence? >>>

Apparently not...

J., you seem to be referring to the picture of the Incra miter gauge that Leon posted; Mike is referring to the picture of the Biesemeyer fence that I posted, which (if you note the quoting above, none of which I've snipped) is what this branch of the thread is about.

There, I fixed it. :-)

I know what you mean, Toy. I'm getting all lost in this high-tech vocab they're tossing around, too.

Aww, who cares, when caulk and putty will fill gaps up to 1/4-inch.

What degree thingy?°

Ice Hole! Howd ju do dat?

We use a metric keyboard in Canada °

Hope that helps.

Hold down the Alt-key and type "0176" on the numeric keypad. Another useful one is ? (Alt-0162). For more, stir up "Character Map" and select "Courier" font. Pick the character you want and look in the lower right corner for the key combination. For example, the "Euro" symbol "?" is Alt-0128, and the plus-minus symbol "+" is Alt-0177.

These may not display properly on all screens in that some users may be using a font other than a normal one such as Courier or Times Roman.

You a Johnny Dangerously fan, Leon? One of my favourite movies in that genre, along with Fish Called Wanda etc..

Option-shift-8 does it here...ohhhhh you don't HAVE an Option key???? No options for you! No soup either!

Then you probably have Swing's missing ê for bête, too...

(Sorry, got carried away there for a moment. That way of thinking came with my membership in TWB. (Typists Without Borders)) Seems that Apple understood a long time ago that there were other people on the planet as well.

Good stuff - I've been thinking that the world is about ready for a keyboard with a language selector and keys with tiny LCDs that changed legend according to the language...

P R E C I C E L Y ! ! ! Farkin Ice Hole! That is exactly where I got that. LOL

This Dell laptop keyboard takes a couple of extra, and mysterious, combo keystrokes and six fingers on each hand just to do a F5 refresh.
