This all-aluminum gauge has all the features of a great unit with a price that’s hard to beat. The nylon adjustment screws keep the gauge tracking well in the miter slot. The fence has a flip-stop that’s curved to let work slide under it for quick repeat cuts. The head quickly registers common angles via a brass pin. The vernier scale is a nice feature.
