anmius,

The Oosborne website it says that there are three expansion slots in the miter bar. Can those be used to lock the guage in the slot like the shopsmith guage?

Sincerely,

My post "will it fit a 520" was really just randomly curios. I never really intended to crosscut with my SS much. I have a RAS built into my bench. But then I saw a video of a fella using that thing and now I kinda want it. I'm telling you guys I got a problem. I need to see something and not want to get it. Spending more time running all over Cali buying stuff then I am spending cutting wood. Heck I don't even really have the RAS built into the bench - the table hasn't been squared... GRRRRR So where did you say you could get that miter gauge?
