3. 1 Positioning Stop for Miter Gauge Head FT4139 2 1 4 20 x 1 Hex Head Bolt KMS7702 1 Auxiliary Fence HD Trak Setting up the Miter Gauge Install the T SIot Washer Optional If your table saw has a t slot style miter slot you may choose to install the washer on the end of your bar Some people like the washer some don t It s your choice if you install it Use the supplied screw to tightly attach the washer to the end of your miter gauge If your saw has a t slot that uses a different washer remove the washer from the miter gauge that came with the saw Install the washer on the Kreg Precision Miter Gauge bar using the screw pro vided with the Kreg Precision Miter Gauge Adjust the bar to the slot Miter gauge accuracy begins with a miter gauge guide bar that does not wiggle in the miter slot It does not matter how good the a _ scales are or how accurately the miter gauge is machined if the bar Attach table slot washer to miter gauge bar wiggles in the slot If the bar wiggles the miter gauge will not cut accurately Therefore it is very important to eliminate the wiggle The Kreg Precision Miter Gauge uses a patented bar adjustment system to custom fit the bar to the miter slot on your saw There are five nylon plugs installed in the bar that adjust with the turn of a small screwdriver You want to adjust these plugs to just kiss the edge of the miter slot You want them touching but not putting any pressu
4. 1 segments The angle you need for 21 segments is 8 57 deg Each segment is 12 wide Micro adjusting the 7 100 deg will eliminate a gap of 0 015 on each joint This calculation assumes each joint will have an equal gap In real life the gaps will be much larger When you clamp the seg ments together the clamps will usually push two sides tightly togeth er leaving twice the gap on the next joint That is a gap of 0 29 You can put six sheets of paper into a gap that large Six sheets of paper is a gap that will definitely show Many woodworkers will try to fill gaps like this with glue or putty But if you can build pieces that fit together tightly people will definitely notice the difference Summary Take the time to set the micro adjust on wide boards especially if you need to add 3 100 deg or more Don t bother on thin pieces or if you only need to add 1 100 deg How the Micro Adjust Works The micro adjust mechanism works by changing the spacing between the fence and the miter gauge For every 0 001 of space you add you increase the angle 1 100 deg You add the space by turning a nylon screw that pushes the fence away from the miter gauge Design Note The micro adjust is designed so that the nylon screws line up with the t track slot You have to turn the nylon screws a long way before they actually engage the auxiliary fence and start to change the angle This design minimizes the chances you will accidentall
5. S N ARROWS Using the Scales Below is a key to understanding the markings on the scales Degree Scale Used to set angle to nearest degree Vernier Scale Used to set angle to nearest 1 10 degree Arrows at O deg The arrows at O degrees make it fast and easy to locate the center of the scale Diamonds There are diamonds every 5 degrees The diamonds make it quick and easy to find the degree setting you need DEGREE SCALE VERNIER SCALE a1 Setting the Cutting Angle Setting the Angle using the Scale To set an angle that is not preset you need to use the scales Just loosen the handle line the desired angle up with the O mark on the Vernier side of the scale and tighten the handle 8 degree setting in example at right Using the Vernier Scale Occasionally you will need to set the angle to the nearest 1 10 deg The Vernier scale lets you do that quickly and accurately Each black line represents 1 10 deg and is used as the reference point to set the number of tenths of a degree it represents The use of a Vernier scale is easier taught by example than trying to explain how it works For example to build a seven sided picture frame you need an angle of 25 7 deg 1 Set the angle to 25 deg Note we are using the left side of the scale in the example 2 Find the seven line on the left side of the Vernier scale 3 Move the miter gauge until the very next degree line to the left matches the seven line s
