What's the Miter with You? Square your Miter Gauge!

[Steve Turner]

And a kerf that's *curved* according to the amount of skew.

This has always worked well for me.

Right, so loosen the trunnion bolts and move it instead. Same/same.

Simply lowering the light level would help, too. Unscrew a couple of the fluor lamps, Bri.

Ditto Exposure and Lighting (For Digital Photographers Only)

Lots of good info.

Done. Ahh, much better. The dial is quite readable, but the picture is still blown out (your hand has pure white spots on top, etc.)

Lowered light levels would help your $20 Chiwanese camera a bit.

BTW, I've never even seen a thickarse square like that. Where'd you find it? Is it aluminum or steel?

Thanks. Looks like I need to read-up a little.

Forgot to mention that it's steel.

RE: Subject

A 12" x 12" x 3/4" piece of MDF with a 3/8" x 3/4" white oak runner attached at right angles (Or parallel if you prefer) to the edges.

Drop runner into slot, adjust miter gage face to 12 x 12.

Get a beer and admire your work.

That's not complicated enough. Come on Lew. Geesh

As my dad told me when I was very young.

"Son, you want to find the easiest way to do a job, find the laziest person you know to do it."

"May not be the fastest, nut it WILL be the easiest."

As you can see, that lesson made an impression on me.

You want a challenge?

Simplify the design of the straight pin.

Often heard in medical school and residency programs with reference to differential diagnosis of a patients signs & symptoms -- i.e., think of common things first, not oddities. For example, if an otherwise healthy patient comes in complaining of a cough, think common cold and not some obscure form of lung cancer...

[blueman]

Or use a PALS which allows you to precisely move the trunion bolts via a pair of allen screws rather than repeatedly wacking with a mallet.

Very useful in my experience. I was able to adjust my 20 year old Craftsman table saw to within 1 thousandth that way...

If the blade isn't parallel to the miter slot the anomalies mentioned will occur regardless of the miter gauge accuracy.

And, since -- as everybody knows -- a zebra is 25 sizes larger than an a-bra, it definitely qualifies as 'unsual' and/or 'exotic'. Chesty Morgan, where are you???

[HeyBub]

There's at least one exception to Occam's Razor. In the exegesis of Biblical texts, when faced with two differing renditions, scholars have learned that the more convoluted and complicated of the two is usually the more correct version. It seems that, during manifold copying, the ancient scribes sometimes tried to simplify a text by rewording it.

For example, the phrase "Do unto others as ye would have them do unto thee" was once enshrined as "Don't be evil" until earlier texts were found. You can Google it.

Sonetimes it is a Zebra......10-11 years ago after a rather hellish (pain filled) 4 months, near death, multiple biopsies, a wrong cancer diagnoses, eventual surgery and subsequent immune suppressants etc....... my Doctor turned to me a said your a "Zebra".......apparently the medical team had been looking for a horse....Rod
