    The bolt is just an ordinary hex bolt.

    As for the angle presumably if the SMT is adjusted parallel to the blade it should be just about right on. The pivot and the scale are cast into the same piece of aluminum. The miter angle scale is quite a large diameter allowing a very precise adjustment.

    And you do know about the zero stop adjustment with the eccentric screw?

    When I got my saw 20 years ago the SMT was adjusted properly and The angle was quite close I use for most angle cuts without further tweaking, Only if doing frames where the four corners will have to meet do I go to extra length to try and put it against a drafting square.
    Thanks, LCHIEN. I did find the eccentric screw for the zero stop and measured and tightened that. I do have a miter saw that is pretty accurate, and only bought the 3100 for rip cuts, but once I saw the SMT and router table, I got pretty giddy about the versatility of this saw!

      I have this part on hand, so I can draw one up and print out a bunch if there's interest.
      I can even print the zero stop if that's another hard to get piece.

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          Has anyone tried 3D printing a miter indicator?
