I need a Dual Hairline Cursor for my Grizzly table saw fence.....Where can I get one?

My Powermatic PM2000 has a dual line cursor. The cursor is a screw on part. Maybe you can get a PM replacement and adapt it.

How About Grizzly?

Aren’t you still going to be off at the same angle looking between two lines?

I generally only use the sight line for rough settings then measure to the blade. More accurate and dependable. The setting also changes if you change kerf size on the blades. Just my two cents. BTKS

I will check PM, thanks.

I checked Grizzly and I couldn’t find anything.

The hairlines are on top of each other, not side my side. So you line up the top one with the bottom one and you know you are right above the sight.

Why not scribe the other line yourself, with a marking or X-Acto knife turned backward, or awl.

You could drill #80 holes through the existing line to establish the start and end point on the back.

The line can’t be more than an 1/8 above the scale, with your eye 18-24” above that, it can’t be very far off. How much error are you getting?

Barrry,
I like the idea of creating my own, I will have to give it some thought thanks!

Topa,
I am getting about 1/16” or maybe 3/32” sometimes. Other times it may be right on the money…...

Geez!!, that seems like a lot. If you take a dark hair and tape it down with making tape, you’ll be able to adjust it until you find the spot you want it.

I wonder if there are other issues besides the line up? Like some slop in the clamping system????

The April/May ‘09 Woodcraft magazine has an idea to solve this problem in the Tips and Tricks section that might help. It suggests cutting a kerf notch in the indicator (or making a new one out of clear acrylic) The two sides of the notch will give you your dual hairline cursor spaced exactly the width of your blade.

Today, right before I was leaving the shop, I was cutting something on the table saw when I realized that my tape was 1/8” off. It was correct the other day, I think, I know it was when I first put it on…...

I checked the sight to see if it was loose, it was plenty snug and wouldn’t budge. Some sort of mystery, I will have to investigate this more tomorrow.
