Just purchased a mark v and it is missing the adjustable miter gage. Any one have and extra one to that is in great condition? Thanks, Tom (woodmeister) If not, there is e-bay.

Well, you correct me so I thought I would return the favor.

All of the table parts are cleaned except for the tops. This time I glass blasted them and then used a 2 1/2" cup fine "brass" (not) brush from Lowe's on the left end of the shorty. Worked like a charm, fast and no cleanup on both steel and aluminum. I still want to try the product De...
