So what do you do with a newly cleaned shop? Make some sawdust, of course!
Today I was getting ready to cut drawer front parts to length on my TS. I slid my Incra V120 miter gauge into the slot but then forgot something on my TS outfeed table and walked over there. I have an extension fence on the gauge and it extends beyond the left side of my TS.
On the way back from the out feed table, I clumsily hit the end of the extension fence and I felt it move. I immediately looked at the gauge and the extra leverage was enough to bend the tooth at the 0 mark on the protractor as well as bend the single tooth on the lever that engages the protractor teeth.
I switched back to my stock TS gauge but now I've got to figure out what to do with this gauge. Incra does sell a new protractor as well as a lever but their combined cost before shipping is over half the price of a new gauge. I think if I try to bend that protractor tooth back, it will snap off. The lever tooth may be more forgiving. Wish me luck.
