HELP!!!! Need Mitre Gauge - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

mdvt · 08-25-2009, 09:58 PM

Hey all,
I picked up a Ryobi Table Saw for reeeeaaaalllllyyy cheap. Only been used about 10 times. One reason for the low price, no Mitre Gauge. I looked Home Depot and Lowes, on ebay and every where on line. I don't want to spend the $50-$60 for the lowest one I found. I am willing to pay for one, shipping too, but on a very limited budget. So if some one has one lying around, send me a private message, and maybe we can work out a deal.
Thanks,
Mike

I have a Ryobi benchtop tablesaw complete with miter guage and everything , but I really dont want to split it up, or Id help you out.I plan on selling it one of these days.My ryobi tablesaw also has only been used about a dozen times.I wasnt very happy with it at all, and picked up another craftsman contractors saw to use in its place. Do a little measuring on the bar size needed for the miter slot, then check these out miter gauge, great deals on Home Garden, Business Industrial on eBay! Im betting there would be one on there you could get cheap. Im not sure, but I dont think the slot is the same on the Ryobi I have compared to my craftsman (Craftsman has 3/8" by 3/4" slot) .

Have you thought of making one?

WD, you beat me to it.
When I had my home made circular saw, I made my mitre gauge.
I planed down a piece of hard wood to fit in the groove which I routered in the table.
Then made up a swivel piece that fitted on to that.

If it's only 45o that you are interested in you could fix the cross bar at that angle.
