I bought an old Emerson-built craftsman contractors saw off of Craigslist, sans miter gauge. Yesterday, a brand-spanking-new Jessem gauge pops up on CL, too cheap to resist (it's now mine). One problem: My Craftsman miter slots are a hair too small, the measure a shade under .74, while the Jessem bar is right at, or a hair over, .74 (my old RCBS calipers only go to 1/100").
I'm thinking of making a simple lap from plywood and SC sandpaper to hone the sides of the slots a bit, or maybe even valve-grinding paste.
Any ideas?
This is such a nice gauge, I think it will be worth the effort.
