Craftsman Digital Miter Gauge —
I have just finished an entire summer living with this gauge. Frankly, I am not sure how I got along without it. My eyes aren't what they used to be. I built the gauge into my home made sliding table, and it has worked flawlessly through hundreds of cuts. I just finished a cherry table and chair set. The chairs have 8 degree compound miters, and every one is right on the money. In fact, the parts for all the chairs were interchangeable. I have no doubt that I could have made these angles by measuring each setup diligently, since I have done it many times before in six decades of woodworking; but I never would have believed how effortlessly I was able reproduce compound miters. As for the cover and battery, I have had no trouble with either, but I did build the gauge into my sliding table. If you are worried about the accuracy of your current miter gauge, or you just want to be able to reproduce angles exactly, buy one of these gauges, make sure you have a good accurate square to adjust it in the first place (otherwise it will not be accurate), and make your life easier. It will take you about 15 minutes with a good square to align it with your saw blade, but it will stay spot on unless you drop it. Follow the advice in the manual to make sure that you move the gauge to the same spot on the table for each adjustment. This was a remarkable good investment for me. RLCraftsman Digital Miter Gauge
