Dial indicator jig for TS

[jussi]

Anyone care to share their dial indicator jigs for table saw set up. And perhaps some plans. I'm thinking the ones to make sure the miter slot and blade are parallel. I thought I saw some examples here before but can't seem to find them anymore.

Not mine but looks simpe and effective.

I just attach mine to a piece of wood and to the SMT fence.

I just attach my dial indicator to a piece of scrap wood, clamp it to the miter gauge, and go from there.

Mine is physically different but conceptually identical to the one drillman linked to. Don't have a picture, but could take one on request.

They're pretty simple to make; the only really critical thing is to make sure the bar fits snugly in the miter slot. If you have a miter gauge with a bar that can be adjusted in width, Gator's approach is as easy as anything.

That should work, you can just clamp the wood to the miter fence easier than finding some t-bolts to fit.
