Product Review: Rockler Table Saw Magnet Micro Adjuster

My guess is that everybody who owns a table saw at some point has done this. That's the woodworker form of micro-adjusting the fence position to get it just where you want it. That's what this product is all about from Rockler. I wanna show you what this thing is about, how it works, how it fastens to the saw, what it can do you for you. So, let me give you a look at just how this can work on a table saw. Here's the way the micro-adjuster works. It's got a series of magnets on the back, so you do have to have a steel rail on your table saw, not aluminum. The magnets'll grab onto that rail, I can position the pad up against the fence with the fence loose, as I turn this, I'm micro-adjusting the fence position moving it very, very slowly toward the table saw blade. Once it's there I can lock it down. Now, keep in mind that with this product, it's gonna advance the fence when I turn this. It does not pull it back when I back this off. So what you need to do is start with your fence a little bit too big, little too far to the right. Then as you advance this it'll move it to the left. You can get this from Rockler, and you expect to pay about $20 or so for this product as an addition to your table saw. I do think it does a pretty nice job of micro-adjusting. I like using the lines on here as an indication of just how much I'm turning the handle which is helping me control the fine changes I'm making to this. So, pretty nice addition to the table saw, really helps me dial it in a little bit more accurately.
