Delta - Deluxe Protractor-Style Gauges
Delta no longer offers a miter gauge accessory.
Oct 25, 2005
The Delta Deluxe is an accessory miter gauge that offers good value for the money. It’s a traditional design with the head mounted on a steel bar by means of a 4-in.-tall clamping handle. The cast and machined protractor head on the model I looked at was straight and square to the table.
The Delta Deluxe uses a spring-loaded pin for positive stops, which work well and are adjustable. There is an optional cam-action clamp attachment, but no auxiliary fence or stop available.

A quality dead-blow mallet that packs and punch but isn't too heavy for furniture work.
Veritas Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
Sawstop Miter Gauge
It has a toothed angle-setting rack that is extremely solid, accurate, and easy to use, and it offers all of the features I love in a miter gauge, including the ability to add an auxiliary wood fence, and a flip-stop that will accommodate it.
