Miter gauge Rip fence 1-3/4 hp, 3,450 RPM motor. Weight: 265 lbs. Some assembly required. The dual locking fence can easily be adjusted parallel to the miter slot and perpendicular to the table. The blade guard system with anti-kickback pawls is designed with a.

1. When deciding on a saw, put the miter gauge into the miter slot and try to wiggle it sideways. It should fit snuggly. If it wiggles much, move on to another saw. Motor size: Most contractor table saws have either a 1 1/2 or 2 horsepower motor.
2. Table saw 5/8 miter slots, 05:16 PM. Are there any good 5/8 miter gauges available. I bought a saw thinking the slots were all 3/4 which is not the case. Last edited by LCHIEN;, 11:49 PM. Tags: table saw. Established Member. Join Date: Feb 2009; Posts: 125.

On a table saw, is the distance between the center of the blade and the center of the miter slot standard on all or most saws? Thanks. – Jerry

Tim Inman: NO. Each brand – and sometimes each individual machine! – is different, although they are often close. Each jig you make is unique to the saw you make it for, darn it. Most are 3/4 inch slots, though.

Chris Marshall: Following up on Tim’s answer, here’s a case in point. I have two cabinet saws in the shop right now — a Craftsman and a Delta Unisaw. There’s close consistency between these two saws concerning miter slot placement, but they aren’t identical. The distance between Delta’s slots is 9-15/16 in. (5-1/2 in. from the left slot to the face of the arbor flange on the left and 4-7/16 in. from the flange to the right slot). On the Craftsman, the slots are an even 10 in. apart (5-1/2 in. from the left slot to the flange and 4-1/2 in. from the flange to the right slot). It’s only a 1/16 in. variation, but that can make all the difference when trying to retrofit crosscut sleds and other jigs from one saw to another.
