Description

Rigid 4512 table saw alignment jig. This may work for other saws but is built for the rigid 4512. uses a printed alignment key, two m4x10mm socket head screws one m4x15mm socket head screw, nut and two washers. The micrometer was sourced from amazon.

Assemble then slid the jig into miter slot pick a spot on the front of the blade put a dot with a sharpie. Zero gauge on that spot then slide the jig to the back of the blade, spin the blade so the spot you made in the front aligns in the back with the gauge. Note the difference from the front to the back and adjust the saw accordingly.

This worked well. Thank you. I found that you need to push both into an edge and down on the the top surface. 3 point contact to get repeatable results. I was pushing down into the track and that was not repeatable. If I make my own I would make 3 point contact pads and print the pads with IGUS bearing filament. Thanks again.

Glad it works for you! Let me know if you make one I'd love to give it a try! I'm always up for a upgrade.

@dak_hop

I think if you made it to where it has a stem clamp it would work for most indicators.

Printed and assembled very well. The miter bar runner was to tight to fit in my Craftsman 113 table saw but about 25 strokes with a fine mill file allowed for a good snug fit. I also had to chamfer the bottom edges of the runner to allow it to seat all the way down in the track. My dial indicator fit great. Highly recommend this print. Now that I know how far out this old saw is I need to do some adjustments. Thanks a lot!

Thanks you! I'm glad you could get it to work with your saw. Don't feel bad my saw was way out as well lol

this printed nicely and my dial fit perfectly. my only suggestion for improvement would be to add some holes for grub screws on the miter bar so this could fit a wider assortment of machines. I don't know if the miter bar would need to be longer or not, but it would be nice to fine tune the fit.

Thanks for the reply and rating. I will most certainly see what I can do to add some grub screw adjustment on the sides of the miter slide, that's a good call.

Thank you!!

I printed this out and it looks great! I had to modify the arm to be longer as my harbor freight dial indicator was not long enough. I'll report back after I test. However, this would work excellently for the fence/miter alignment as is. Delta 36-725T2.

Good to hear!! Feel free to post the modified arm! I unfortunately bought my mic years ago and couldn't find the link to it. It may help people to post a modified arm with a readily available dial indicator.
