micro aduuster for table saw fence

[thewalnutguy]

I was trying to adjust the table saw fence to get exactly the width of material to match the Leigh dovetail jig settings, getting close but not exactly what I needed. I searched for something that would help, but nothing I found was what I needed. I sent an email to SawStop, describing what I was afer. They don't offer a micro adjuster for their saw, but suggested a product made by Canyon Fire Tools 

https://canyonfiretools.com/shop/ols/pro...ter-3fadef and that looked like what I was after, so I ordered one (and discovered that I also needed to order a Mag Switch for it). Parts arrived today, installation was super simple. Mounted a dial indicator to my saw table top next to the fence and played with the adjuster's knurled knob. It does precisely what I was after, allowing an adjustment as little as 0.001 inch. 

sorry 'bout the duplicate posting, I've tried to delete the "extra" one, with no luck

That little guy was expensive, but if it solves the problem then I guess it was worth it.  My Vega Pro fence came with a built-in micro adjuster.  Cat's whiskers when I need that level of precision, which is pretty rarely.

Looks like a cool little gizmo. My old jetpack fence that came with my unisaw had a really handy micro adjuster on it. I lost it when I upgraded to the unifence though. I had some ideas for.making one but have never found the time to pursue it.
