Miter stop rod

Post by ChrisNeilan »

Maybe I'm blind, but could someone tell me how the miter stop rod works? Can't seem to visualize it, and the catalog description isn't much help...

I haven't used one, but I think you insert the long rod through the miter gauge and fasten it with set screw(s) down through the holes in the top of the gauge. Then adjust the short rod so that you can get repeated cross cuts.
