G'day Vic, I bought the same mitre gauge last year but without the fence. I had a piece of aluminium slotted bar which worked . I have exactly the same saw as yours and my gauge slides up and down without a problem.
I replaced the slide adjustment screws with knurled brass knobs I found at Bunnings and they match the supplied ones perfectly. My gauge was accurate from out of the box, I did not have to adjust it, I guess I was lucky.
Keep up the excellent videos and ignore the uninformed. cheers Tim
Thank you very much Tim. Glad to hear you're happy with yours
John McL Without you, fellow aussie, I would never have got this mitre gauge working!
Awesome John, so glad I was able to help 👍🏼
That was a good and well-informed video on this mitre gauge . I came across it on another video. I will more than likely buy it soon. Thanks again for your comments.
No worries Kenneth, I use mine every time i use the saw and its great
Fantastic review! Your video helped me understand how to change the fence to use it for my table saw after I thought I had purchased the wrong thing. Thanks so much. 👍
Glad it was helpful for you 👍🏼
Thanks for the review Vic I have been looking into a decent mitre gauge for a while now and you tipped me over the edge. Just ordered one with your discount thought I had better get in quick before they run out of stock. Hope things are OK with you and family with this rotten covid. Thanks again Steve Tas.
Thank you very much Steve and great that you have ordered one for yourself, there's a lot of positive comments here about it.
I’ve got this miter gauge and have been happy with it. I couldn’t justify buying a Jessem guage which costs more than most dedicated miter saws
Yeah I’m the same mate. The mitre gauge works really well.
Cheers for the review Vic! I had to watch it as I have had the same mitre gauge for almost a year now (after watching Dennis from Hooked on Wood's review). Actually also bought one for a mate. And as @Tim Elliott says below, mine was also perfect out of the box. I've got and old Delta table saw and the retaining washer works perfect on mine. Glad to see it was an easy fix for yours.
Welcome to the club, and I've got a feeling we'll all get a lifetime of use out of these. No regrets whatsoever!
Thanks mate. Its great to hear from others who have the same mitre gauge and hear all their positive comments about it.
😂😂 I’m new to woodworking and got this exact fence today. I had the same issue with the nut passing through the hole! My first miter gauge, so I can’t really comment on it. It feels solid and like you, I only had to do a slight adjustment to the fence.
Good stuff mate, hope you make heaps of projects with it
Nice review Vic, obviously I've got the same stock mitre gauge as you, and while I've tweaked and improved it slightly, it's still kinda cruddy so I'm keen to upgrade this year, be keen to see how this one tracks for you over the next month. I've started testing out banggood myself, so far all of the tools I've bought have been great value and feel really high quality, just the delivery time can be a little hit 'n' miss. Though to be fair, Christmas was probably the main reason for my orders being delayed anyway. Cheers!
Thanks Mario. Yeah i think you might be right mate. Do you watch Dennis from @Hooked on Wood? Does some great reviews of Banggood products in his 'China Tools' series.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks I doo, that's the whole reason why I decided to try them out in the first place. 🤣 I've bought a few measuring tools: large T square, a right angle guide, some fancy pantsy corner clamps, the kinda things that are upwards of $150 in Australia, but around $50 online - you just gotta wait a few months for them to come.
If you do more reviews, I'll be watching 👍
I watched a lot of videos on Miter gauges and I must say this is a excellent video. It’s simple to the point and explains all the answers you need to know. And I must say give you a very affordable alternative. I paid over $200 for my Incra so for under $100 this seems like a really good bargain.
Thanks very much mate, glad you liked the video 👍🏼
@@DownUnderWoodWorks you’re welcome. I appreciate the good video I’m over here in the US. God bless and keep up the great work.
Always like you videos. YOu’ve actually helped me to decide whether to get one or not. Have a great 2022 and good to have Ozy youtubers
Thanks for the support Nigel. Make sure to use the discount code if you do mate.
How is the flipstop adjusted? Is there a mechanism for fine adjustments?
Also, can the flipstop be used with a sacrificial fence?
The flip stop has a locking screw on top so you can slide it along the fence and lock it in place. There is no fine adjustment. It could be used with a sacrificial fence because the unit comes with the plastic inserts that screw to the front face of the fence. i have removed them as i find the gauge works better without them so you could use a sacrificial fence the same thickness as the plastic inserts
I liked the one of these I purchased so much I bought another and I agree it needs a spring on the lever other than that everything can be dialed in and held tight with a little Liquid tight.
Great stuff Richard. Thanks for watching and commenting
What an excellent review champion well done I always look forward to your videos coming out
Thank you very much Anthony
Thanks so much for making this video. I've read through the comments and don't see anyone with the same unanswered concern as mine. I have just purchased a rebuilt old Rockwell Unisaw. need to get my 220V supply installed before using it. I can't wait. Really looking forward to getting into woodwork. This seems to be far and away the best value miter available.
This miter gage does not come with a measuring system. No tape. Dialing in and using a table saw without needing tape measure to the saw blade tooth seems to be a most popular miter gage/sled operation.
Do you think a tape can be inserted into the t-slot? Has anyone experimented with a tape, perhaps one that would fit snug into the slot but still slide for adjustment?
No, you’re right, the gauge doesn’t have a tape measure. To be honest, relying on set tape measures is not the best practice anyway. In my opinion and experience measuring your cuts with a ruler or hand held tape measure is far more accurate and a good habit to form for a new woodworker. Don’t take everything you see as the way it should be. Also, a tape measure on a mitre gauge won’t really work at any angle other than 0 degrees.
Nice. I've been eyeing one of those off for a while.
No worries Jason, hope the video was helpful
I just received the non brass version of this, interestingly it didn't come with any instructions, the 4th expansion washer was fitted, and it had a large flat edged washer fitted to the far end of the rail where yours just has a countersunk screw, i had to remove the washer as it was wider than my table saw slot. I expected the indexing finger to be sprung loaded as well. it was nice to have all the required allen keys supplied as well as spare screws and expansion washers.
Thanks for that Russ. Sounds like it all worked out in the end
Good review. I have just purchased a used one. [very little use] Came with the instructions but because of their limitations mentioned this video has been a great help..
Happy to hear that John. thanks for the comment
i have the same mitre guage, and was impressed with the quality and price. the only tweak i had to make was file a tiny section from the end of the non sprung pointer that sits in the cut outs on the protractor, it was just a little too long for it to seat properly in the cuts, other than that it worked out the box.
Thanks Kevin. its been really good hearing from others that have this item and are happy with it
Great review Vic, you should do them more often !
Thanks very much Dave but i'm still in two minds about doing reviews. Felt like i was selling out a little
Thank you Vic. I always appreciate your insights and look forward to all your videos and this was a good review. I may end up buying one.
Thank you very much Rich. Happy new year to you mate.
I have recently purchased this item and have to say I am satisfied with the quality .however I have encountered a problem. I have Clarke CTS 14 table saw and discovered that the miter gauge is not compatible with this table saw or I understand any other of the Clarke range. The miter is too wide and thick to fit the miter slots on the table saw. I wonder if this is a problem with other brands of table saws. Perhaps you could advise.
Hi Alan, I'm unfamiliar with the Clarke brand, I've not heard of it. A3/4 or 19mm slot is standard on most (i thought all) table saws.
Hi Vic, great video as usual. Very fair and full of info, good and bad. Will agree to disagree regarding being paid. By receiving and retaining a tool in exchange for agreeing to review it you are basically being paid for your knowledge and access to your viewer network. The emphasis on retaining.
Having said that you are correct as it not being a paid promo as you were not dictated to in regards your commentary or outcome.
Anyway keep on keeping on. Have a good weekend. Looking forward for your next one.
Hey, thank you very much Robert. I know the whole paid thing will be a matter of opinion and I respect yours. In my mind if I were to be paid the $150 I would be free to spend it as I please but in this situation you get what you're given, and if that items turns out to be crap you're not left with much. Happy new year mate.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks All good mate it was only the accountant in me barking.
I was really surprised how much cutting power (and torque) this saw had out of the box. I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.
Thank you very much
Great review, I got the exact same one last month from Amazon and totally agree with your comments.
Very impressed with the quality, a very weighty item and the manual confused me too initially.
It fits my Dewalt table saw perfectly & that’s a great idea of yours to swap over the plastic fence parts 👍.
Thanks for the comment mate. its been good to hear from others who have the same item and they all have positive things to say about it
Just got mine today. Unfortunately, it came without a manual. But thanks to your excellent review, I don't need one. This gauge fits my DeWalt perfectly. A couple of test cuts came out great. This gauge feels really solid and well made. And yeah, the brass knobs are great.
Glad I was able to help out Ted and that you’re happy with it 👍🏼
Thanks Ted for your comment. I too have a DeWalt saw & was wondering whether it suited. I'll get one now.
Looks good! I've been knocking them back for a while too but they are persistent. Then I asked them for one thing (workbench dropping casters) and they said sorry it wasn't in stock :P Maybe one day I'll pick something up as that does indeed look better than I was expecting.
Funny story, they asked me to choose two items and then said they were both out of stock but asked me to join/register anyway and as soon as i did the mitre gauge was on its way to me. It is good though
I love mine only issues is the parts for the finger joints but not a big deal
Yeah, I didn’t use them at all. Packed away in a drawer somewhere 🤷🏻♂️
Very accurate review. the posting on Bangood's site is not clear as to which fence you get - the one you got - same as the one I got - is really for a router table and specifically for box -fingers / tenons which explains the instructions order in the manual.. The gap opening space in the fence for the router bit is extremely annoying when trying to align the distance from the blade unless you use the right slot on the table saw. Thanks for the tip about flipping the black backing so it will be possible to use on the left miter slot. I, too was surprised at the good quality of the product and I have a Jessem fence that cost 2.5 x and didn't fit as well as this one in my table saw.
Thank you. Glad i was able to help out with that tip.
Nice review! I have been looking at this miter gauge, seems like a great upgrade from the stock gauge on my jobsite table saw. Do you happen to have a newer discount code? The one in the description appears to be expired...
No sorry mate, I'll have to delete that one. Just keep checking their website, the price seems to change quite often
I just bought one of these from Timbecon. (branded Toquarta, but it's the exact same tool)..... for a higher price. It is awesome and thanks for your video.
No worries, glad you like it. you're right about the Timbecon items being identical but more expensive, its a bit disappointing on their part TBH
Great review Victor & you should do many more mate, TH-cam is a search engine so it’s great if your review videos can be seen by the masses.
I think we all get hung up that we need to do build after build video but that’s a flooded market & highlighting good quality tools should present you to a new audience.
Grouse work mate 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much Dirk. I'm still in two minds about doing reviews, it just felt like i was selling my soul the whole time.
I have this miter gauge. For about a month.
I am with you on it having T slots with no T bolts. In the US it’s a little difficult to find metric bolts. T bolts would really help with moving the fence past the gap.
The hole in the aluminum fence is to run the dado cutter thru. You cut right thru the plastic to give a zero clearance for the dado. This really helps with tear out on the backside of the dado cut.
This is only good for the first set-up. So I’m making replacement fence faces for different set-ups. I make them out of Timbertech scraps. It’s a resin & sawdust deck board material.
The grub screws you pointed out adjusts the vertical tilt of the fence. Not the square to the blade angle. That is done with two screws on the miter face.
I put red locktite on the screws in the miter bar and the two grub screws. Because I’m out of blue, which isn’t permanent like red.
I didn’t want to take a chance on loosing them.
I really like my Wnew miter gauge. I use it on my 2000 Grizzly cabinet saw. It really improved the accuracy.
Thanks for the review video. It was a very good presentation.
Thank you, for your honest review.
No worries Henry, thanks for watching
I noticed that the ones you buy from Banggood have the angle markings printed instead of engraved. Don't know if things changed between then and now, or were the ones sent to reviewers were simply nicer built.
That’s interesting mate, I wouldn’t know because I have nothing to compare it to.
After watching a few videos on this style miter gauge I decided to purchase one. I went to Banggood, downloaded their app and proceeded to register. But, when I reviewed their privacy policy, I discovered that you are giving them the right to access your computer equipment and all associated peripherals including its camera or any network attached device, USB drives, storage drives, etc.. Most people unknowingly just click OK and move on without reading. Also, this may only pertain to us here in the USA but I'll bet it's ubiquitous! Hence I ordered a similar product from Amazon and deleted all associated Banggood App, etc., from my device. Hopefully the extra $15 will insure my privacy???
Wow, that's very interesting. I'll have to look into that but i don't deal with Banggood anymore. Thanks.
i really appreciated this review. So much so I went and bought one. I was a little dissapointed to find that the bar only fits in a t track that is 30mm and most table saws in the UK (which I wanted to use it on) are a lot narrower. I have had to basically build a table saw from scratch to be able to use it. I asked the ebay seller about the size of the t track on a new table saw I was going to purchase but he basically said tough, it comes with a mitre guide and if I wanted to use my new mitre guide I would have to make a new bar or get one made by someone. Any ideas where I could get a narrower bar to fit this guide would be really appreciated. I was told the T track fits a 16mm bar, this is 19mm....mmmmm frustrating.
Sorry to hear that mate. The bar on mine is for a 19mm t track which is what I have on my table saw
What make table saw do you use? If I have to buy another I may as well buy one to fit my mitre guide ( that’s how impressed I am with it) in the uk the tables t track looks cheap and nasty and the one I bought was even bent straight out the box. ( the make is einhall I think)
@@MrWoody17309 Mine is a local Australian brand www.machineryhouse.com.au. Whatever saw you decide on just confirm with them what size t slot it has.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks what table saw did you use
Hello thank's for this presentation; this equipment seems to be very qualitative
No problem Michel, glad you liked it
Nice video. A test of the flip stop would have been nice.
This looks identical to the one being marketed by Rutlands Tools in the UK.
Does anyone know if it's the same one?
Cheers.
Not sure about that mate but its not unusual for several different brands to come out of the same factory
This is identical to the Torquata Mitre Gauge from Timbecon. Doing some research it appears this gauge is actually OEM rebranded under lots of different vendors/brands. I see it also listed as the 'Drillpro Mitre Gauge', 'Torquata Mitre Gauge' and now the 'Wnew Mitre Gauge'.
Yes mate, when i saw the first pics of the Timbecon one i recognised it as identical straight away. it happens a lot with some tools these days, identical tool released under different brand names.
@@DownUnderWoodWorks I wish I'd seen this first! I could have saved a few $$$!
If you do decide to use it for box joints you will be very impressed great review to
Thanks Bradley. I assume you have one too. I may have to try that one day
@@DownUnderWoodWorks I’ve bought a lot from them have you seen hooked on wood he reviews them on his channel it helps if you want a item at a good price
@@bradleytuckwell4854 Yes mate, i do watch his reviews. He's got me eyeing off a few items
Great review Vic. I have to agree with your thinking when it comes to paid promotion Vs free tool and honest review. I am often tempted by Banggood products and this looks like a very good option to do great things with my cheap Makita table saw. Cheers mate!
Thanks mate and sounds like we're on the same page. I think YT should have a number of different labels to pick from rather than the 'one size fits all' approach.
Nice. I'm always hesitant to buy those cheaper off brand tools. Good to know it's not gonna be a waste of money if I do go with that.
Yes mate, im the same as you. It's always good to see reviews on these products
I think your review was fair. It seemed to cover all the important points relevant to a miter gauge. You pointed out some problems and fixes you made. Also a couple of changes / enhancements that would be in order. So about the only part of the review I disagree with is your view on what is or is not "paid". You got a $150 (or so) piece of merchandise. That's $150 in your pocket. So unless you send the miter gauge back, you are money ahead. Now, having said that, your review appears to be honest, paid for or not. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2022 and stay safe.
Thank you very much Glen and i appreciate your views. This 'paid' topic will always be a matter of opinion. In my mind if i were to be paid cash i could spend that money on anything i want. in this case i get what i'm given and yes its money in my pocket if the item is great and you use it but what if the item turns out to be crap and you put to the back of the cupboard and only use it rarely then i'm essentially out of pocket. Thanks again mate
The stock hafco gauge with the SB12 is the letdown of the table. This tool looks to be a very good replacement
I think thats the case with standard mitre gauges supplied with most saws. its always a low grade item just like the blade thats supplied. Mine didn't last very long at all. Cheers mate
Another great video Vic, I have the exact same item you reviewed. I found it to be very accurate and value for the money.
I have used it many times and have had no issue.
Don't listen to that KNOB, as someone mentioned he is a tool......🤣🤣
Cheers Rob
Hey Rob, thanks mate. Its been good to hear from all those that have the gauge and love it. Percy is no problem, he doesn't realise that no-one gives him any credibility and he's just a source of cheap entertainment.
One caution many of this group (Banggood and others) of miter gauges Will Not work in the classic Craftsman cast iron table saws as the miter slots were under sized by a few thousands. I had purchased one and was disappointed, however it did fit other equipment.
Incra and others will fit the Craftsman table saws.
Thanks for that info 👍🏼
Thank you sir. I will keep it in mind
No worries Bruce, thanks for watching
I ordered the fence and stop to go on my incra v27 which is suspiciously like the wnen/drillpro
Yeah it’s interesting how some products from different brands can look almost identical
A good review. Most of the issues seem to be fixable.
Thank you
Thanks for the informative review.
Could you not just turn the fence upside down to move the box jig function to the other end?
It looks like it has a t-track on both edges
Hi Glen, sorry for the late reply, not sure how i missed your comment. Yes, the fence has the same groove on both edges.
Great review mate
Thank you Mark
Thanks a very good review. I have one of these what have yet to set it up. I will do after this video.🇦🇺👴🏻
Thanks Mark, good to hear I've inspired you in some way
seems to be exactly the same down to the instruction manual as the Torquata Mitre Gauge with Box Joint Jig Accessory
Yes mate, I've noticed the new Green Torquata range are the exact same Banggood tools just rebranded. Disappointing actually.
I only paid round about 76 €. Nearly 20€ less than right now (150 Aus Dollar). I bought everything separate and not as a “kit”.
Thanks for that info. I find the price on the website changes often which is a bit weird and annoying
Good review Vic. D you watch Dennis at hooked on wood? Well worth a visit just for his reviews.
Thank you Glyn. I do watch Dennis, great reviews. Ive got my eye on a few products because of his reviews.
Good
Thanks
Thank you for the disclosure. I do agree with you that TH-cam needs to get more granular about its disclosure policy. It's important to me how you obtained this item but If all they supplied was the item then it's not really a paid promotion. Also if they sent you the item then it implies to me that your item was handpicked and prepared for the review. The item that I receive won't be. In the end transparency is what is most important.
I agree mate, their standard disclosure is way too broad. Interesting view on the item being hand picked for me, I never considered that. Thanks
@@DownUnderWoodWorks I can’t take credit for coming up with that. I also watch a guitar channel which is similar to a tool channel in that guitars can cost anywhere from $150 on Amazon to tens of thousands. Usually when multiple channels are reviewing the same tool or piece of gear simultaneously it means the company has sent out a bunch of samples. That channel is the one who mentioned hand picked or inspected samples.
What part of China is it made in?
The Chinese part.
You only have to find something useful in your 'stash' once in your lifetime to make hoarding things a way of life. In fact if you are going to be lucky enough to pass your 'stash' onto someone else on your demise, you can include their lifetime in the tally as well. Imagine a grandchild coming in to his then wife and saying "I found the exact part I needed in the stuff I cleared out from Grandad's".
That is so true mate
Really good review. But wow, $120 dollars, almost as much as my 9 inch bandsaw haha.
ha, the price does seem to fluctuate a bit on this one. It’s a great mitre gauge though much cheaper than the expensive ones
It’s always amusing to hear aussies say “Aluminum”. 😅 good review though.
Thanks Zane 🇦🇺
"It’s always amusing to hear aussies say “Aluminum” "
That's because we don't say aluminum. We say aluminium. That is, it's not just a different pronunciation, but a different spelling. Aluminium is the spelling used everywhere outside North America, apparently.
This coupon has expired
Sorry about the coupon Petr but i don't have any control over that. i've removed the links from the video.
most of these don't fit some jobber saws
Yeah, I’ve heard that. I don’t have any experience with that kind of saw
Being paid in money and being paid with goods (items) are, in fact, very similar. Sorry to burst your bubble.
No worries mate but I disagree with you because if I’m paid money I’m free to do or spend it as I please. If I’m only paid by receiving a product I’m limited to that and what if I don’t like it or don’t use it, I’ve gained nothing. Cheers mate
Jessum is the best
Thanks for letting me know
sawstop version is now the best
