Product Information:

Getting accurate, repeatable results with a miter gauge can be difficult when the blade alignment is off. In most cases this is the result of misalignment between the miter slot, fence and blade to produce a perfect cut, the saw blade and rip fence must be exactly parallel to the miter slot. The Pinnacle Saw Gauge is designed to satisfy this need. It’s the first alignment tool that automatically adjusts to the width of the miter slot through the use of three precision ground steel pins. Regardless whether the slot is 5/8" wide like many older saws, 3/4" wide like most current models this unique arrangement will ensure a perfect fit and smooth traveling up and down the miter slot. Another exclusive feature is its ability to be set at one distance to align the blade then in an instant be reset to a different distance for checking the fence and back to the exact original location for comparison measurements. No knobs, no tools, no recalibration. Comes in a fitted MDF case for safe storage. Made in the USA except for the dial indicator which is imported.

    Comments about Pinnacle Saw Gauge :

    I purchased this item hoping for a quick and easy way to verify alignment of my saw blade to my miter slot, as well as my fence. However, I soon came to realize that this tool is a horrible unitasker. It can ONLY be used to measure those things, and for the cost, not really worth it. I was hoping to be able to measure the arbor play, and some alignment checks on router tables and bandsaws, but the mechanism is very restrictive...you can only use it in a table saw. :-( The rollers also create about .002" worth of play in the alignment which is UNACCEPTABLE in a product like this. I will keep looking for a better tool.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
