Tricks of the Trade EDITED BY PAUL ANTHONY THE WINNER: More Angle from a Miter Gauge F L—very once in a while, 1 find 1 need to make a miter cut on the table saw that exceeds the capacity of my miter gauge, which only lilts to about 50°. To solve ihe problem I add a tapered secondary fence to my miier gauge's auxiliary fence, as shown in ihe drawing. The angle of the taper isn't critical because you'll pivot the miter gauge for fine adjustment. Fasten the tapered end of the secondary fence to the miter gauge's auxiliary fence using double-stick tape. (Using the taper offcut as a temporary shim, clamp the pieces together fora few moments to ensure a good bond.) Also tape a scrap block to the auxiliary fence at the opposite end to support the free end ol the tapered fence. To set up lor the cut, position the mitergauge as necessary, gaugingthe angle between the blade and the face of the tapered piece. Then cut as normal, holding the workpiece firmly against the tapered fence. — Ken Burton, New Tripoli, Pennsylvania roNTiNiirn os pac.f 20 Cash and prizes for your tricks and tips!
