Table Saw Miter Gauge

The dewalt does look alot like the Osborne, but the biggest difference I see is the Dewalt has a 24” fence where as the Osborne is adjustable upto 42”

-- I can fix ANYTHING!.... Wheres the duct tape?

I have an Osborne and love it. It was dead on right out of the box. I would not trade it for anything.

Looks like DeWalt had to lower the price by about two thirds of what they were originally asking for them : (
I don’t know how you feel about the Incra products , but here’s a nice deal :

It doesn’t appear to be worth the $40 savings….5 reviews – 1 positive, 1 neutral, 3 negative. I don’t usually put much emphasis on Amazon reviews but this one is raising flags.

The EB-3 works well and is backed by excellent personal customer service by David Osborne.

The negative reviews on the Dewalt are show stoppers. These are the very things that people buy a miter gauge upgrade.

The only thing I wish about my EB-3 is that I would have bought it sooner.

I bought an Incra miter gauge and it works great. The calibration is easy and dead on.

I have to add a vote for the Incra. Once calibrated, it is accurate and repeatable. I don’t fear repositioning it during cuts, because I know I can get right back to my intended angle. But then I seem to have a fondness for Incra tools as my collection is growing.

I have an Incra V27 with a Mule M-21 Miter Gauge Fence … I have been very happy with that combination.

When I got my Incra, I set the adjustable miter bar to fit my saw’s miter slot, then re-squared the miter slot to the blade, and it has been dead-on ever since.

To be fair, I don’t think any miter gauge will perform ‘out of the box’ without doing some tune-up work. A friend who works at a local machine shop tells me even the high-end tools require some adjustment to optimize performance. That being said, the user comments on the DeWalt would cause me to keep looking.
