Regina C.: After trying out two other vendors table saw alignment tools this was the best. The analog dial indicator for me worked the best and the adjustment for the table saw slot was great. I have used it for the table saw blade and fence and it work easy. Definitely recommend it.

Mark: I have a Dewalt 7491 table saw that I was having trouble getting a square cut from. After checking the blade, AND the fence, I am now getting a mic better cut! This tool is a great asset!

gnefgnef: I have a Laguna 18BX bandsaw, and use a 1.25" resaw king carbide tipped blade for resaw work. I've noticed that over time the fence will go out of alignment, and when I try to resaw, I'll have issues if I don't properly align the fence to prevent any drift. I often resaw at the maximum height of 16 inches, so any blade drift compounds problems, especially on a long board that I'm resawing.

I used to just use a square and set the fence that way, but this dial gauge is purpose built for this kind of alignment, and it made checking for parallel quick and easy. The only thing I have to account for is the actual deflection of the fence from sideways pressure since I also use a bow resaw featherboard with the 10 inch extension to apply lateral force to hold the wood firmly against the fence, and this causes the fence to deflect away from the blade at the rear. This is no fault of this dial indicator though, and something that I just need to account for when I'm using the dial indicator to set the fence properly.

This wasn't the cheapest option, but it does feel well built and consistent. It was easy to assemble and figure out how to use and adjust the miter bar. Everything...

Badotz: Before I bought my table saw, I thought it worked like this: you turn it on; you run a board through the blade; you turn it off.

Then I bought a saw on craigslist (however it's spelled). It came with an Incra LS rip fence and router table. What the heck is that for?

Soon, I was browsing back-issues of Shopnotes, reading about tenoning jigs, crosscut sleds and tapering jigs. So much to learn!

And then one day, I read an article about tuning up your table saw. Huh? You could tune it? To what? A-440?

Of course not. But the blade, I discovered, must be parallel to the miter slots, and the 90° stop position should align the blade exactly 90° to the table top. Was my saw in tune? I had to read up on banging something called a "trunion" with a hammer and a block of wood to parallel-ize the blade to the miter slot. Was my leg being pulled? Nope, that is the tried-and-true method.

So, how to tell when I could stop beating on my saw? How will I know the blade is parallel to the miter slot? That's where the A-Line-It enters the shop. It rides in the miter slot and positions a dial gauge against the saw blade. Mark a spot on the blade, between the teeth,...
