It has been suggested that I start a new thread on this topic so here goes.
I have built this jig and am getting less than accurate results. It would be a lot easier if my saw could take dado blades but alas it can't (I have a Triton Workcentre set-up which does not allow installation of dado blade) so I have a blade which has a reputed 2.8 mm kerf but I believe it to be a bit more (approx 3 mm due to run-out I believe). The jig I built is very sturdy (using 3/4 inch plywood mainly) and I used regular nuts sunk into the timber rather than t-nuts but am yet to get any consistent results. There is no slop in the jig that I can discern, I can only think that the inconsistent saw blade (which I thought would cancel itself out) or my counting (I am mixing metric with imperial measurements) is throwing me out.
Has anyone come across a way to easily record fractional turns on this sort of jig?
