I always learn something here!

If NO gap at the 'far' end, the cut IS square. The further away the ends are from the cut, the more accurate the indication.

Realize the 'runout' is doubled, same as the 5 cut error is quadrupled.

Dusty, my friend = I think you were better off before you found out about the adjustable thing.

You just might be right about that Charlese. Now that I have made that discovery, I am faced with the challenge of correcting the .003°2' error .

Lol, Dusty, I could only hope my work was so accurate that 3 thou would be noticeable . I learned a new trick - if it looks bad, I just take my glasses off..

Let's make sure we are reading from the same sheet of music. This song is not about my work! It is about my instruments; in this case a Miter Gauge and Square.

My Miter Gauge, the V120, was manufactured by Incra - a company well known for precision.

I am pleased to hear that you too had a learning experience here on the forum.

BTW - The Incra Miter Gauge squared up real well.

The setup gauge that you see here is one of my frequently used gauges. I have two smaller ones that I use predominantly to set or check fences (jointer and rip) for square to the table.

I was quite surprised to see just how "out of square" the V120 could be. This is with the four screws loose and the protractor forced out to its maximum.

I might not be any better off than I was before I discovered the "adjustable thingy", Charlese but I am sure glad that I did. The error was "major minor" and I see no noticeable difference in performance but I do know that the miter gauge is adjusted to within as tight of specifications as can be.

I do like my Incra V120.
