Re: Blade Alignment Jig

@ dleleo: Sorry I haven't been following the thread. A DI is short had for a Dial Indicator.

@GarageWoodworks: You're right, although small Cosine error will play into the trig.

I'll see if I can pot my next version some time soon.

Re: Blade Alignment Jig

I have bee using a version of this jig for a while now & I like it. I have modified mine so I can check other angles (anything from 90* to 45*that I have a know reference for)

I used a DI with 1.000" of total travel and placed is so it is fully compressed at 90* and 1.0” above the screws. This allows the tip of the DI to extend far enough for me to check 45* when the DI is at full travel.

I'll use the same method of zeroing the DI pushed against a good combo square for perfect miters.

Next step is to make a steel one and place the centerline of the DI EXACTLY 1.000” above the center line reference point so I can trig out any angle.
