    Miter Pointer

    I just bought a 3100, and I’m looking for a miter pointer, part number 969191002. It’s the plastic orange part that goes on the back of the miter fence. Has anyone had any luck finding one or machining one somehow?

    Several members wrote about their need for the now unavailable miter pointer - what I call the orange thingey that slides along the rear of the miter fence to point out the angle of the miter fence. Though I don't need one (I have two) I convinced my self a DIY replacement was pretty easy. Here's the OEM miter indicator

      Thank you for the reply, LCHIEN. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to make an accurate representation like you did. I have no way of drilling and tapping the aluminum. I can always measure the angle through other means, I’m sure. Thank you for the detailed write-up. The piece looks like it functions great!
