    Beat way to tune my woodworking machines

    The easiest way I've found to tune up all of my woodworking tools Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023 I have tuned up my workshop tools several times with various devices. For my money, this is the most accurate and easiest to use. It is pricey, but it is a one time purchase. Set up is so much faster than the other methods/tools I have used. I guess it boils down to how much your time is worth. I read the other reviews posted here, and can only speak to criticisms of the tool from my own experience. First, the case is of good quality, and appreciated. When you have a small shop, storing things and finding all the parts are key. Second, the miter slot spring pin can be moved; if you are making a conscious decision to move it. I find that in practice it places enough pressure on the walls of the miter slot to stay accurate. BTW, I am using it on a Dewalt 7491s. Read some reviews that using this kind of a device on a portable saw is overkill. I think that is wrong also. With this tool, I can quickly make my humble Dewalt very accurate. I have a couple of tools from this company. I find their stuff well made, well packaged; and shipped very quickly.
