Great review! I just bought this exact miter gauge about a month ago. Took a risk since there weren't many reviews at the time. I love your idea about offsetting it a known quantity. I think I'll steal that idea and see if I can add an attached extension on the right side that is removable and sacrificial.
I'm wondering if the fence is aluminum, it would be ok to use a carbide blade just skimming the end of the fence so you could use the ruler-scale without subtracting an offset, and it would help with preventing tearout on the backside of the cut (like a zero-clearance insert does in the table top). Or, with the blade all the way up, intentionally skim a bit off the end once (1mm? 1/32"?) and then use something like this process to calibrate positioning the fence the correct distance from the blade: place an object of known length (1-2-3 block) against the widest tooth of the blade, set the stop to be exactly at the corresponding length on the ruler, then slide the fence and stop (locked together) against the object, then lock the fence to the handle/slide/head. You could even use a similar process along with the micro-adjuster to precisely setup how much of the fence you want to skim off at the beginning. Anyway, thanks for the great review of this that I'd never heard of. I'm definitely adding it to my wish list. 😊
I thought about this. And really if you know the offset, you can just put a sticker tape for the measurement. I just like to leave my gauge as is. But there's plenty of workarounds to try for sure!
I'm not sure. But from what I know miter gauge slot are standard for most saw. Except for Ryobi. So chances are it should fit but I don't know for sure
You can but you still need a bit of offset. If you cut it, then the fence still need to be really close to the blade. But you definitely can. I just prefer to keep it as is. Thanks for watching!
Great video, your concept and content were off the chart and I enjoyed watching and seeing you evaluate the Vevor miter gauge
Thank you for watching!

Love it! Let me know how the offset works!
Great review.
Thank you for watching!
Great vid, thanks!
I’m a new subscriber, I’m liking what you’re doing 😊
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
I have seen this miter gauge and I appreciate your opinion!
Thank you for watching!
"Confused Canadian" Lol, yup. I'm 6' tall, 200lbs and right now it's 19deg celsius and I'm about 5km from the store I'll be going to in the next hour.
I love it when someone get my lame joke 🤣
@@ycmakes: No, not lame.
That is usually referred to as "tongue in cheek"
or "dry" humor. Love it. 🤣🤣🤣👍👍😁🖖✌
Nice job!
Thanks, I was looking at getting that one or one similar and this video helped.
Glad that the video helped you make your decision!

I'd take a hack saw and cut off a 1/4 inch, then line it up... Assuming it was made to allow for that.
Does this mitre gauge fit on a Bosch table saw, do you know?
I'm not sure. But from what I know miter gauge slot are standard for most saw. Except for Ryobi. So chances are it should fit but I don't know for sure
@ycmakes thank you that's much appreciated 👏
If it is aluminum can't you buzz off the end of the fence to get the ruler in the correct spot next to the blade?
You can but you still need a bit of offset. If you cut it, then the fence still need to be really close to the blade. But you definitely can. I just prefer to keep it as is. Thanks for watching!
@@ycmakesThanks, Great video. I just ordered one.
@@MrDjslav5 thank you! Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do!
0:06 I also don't know if it's pronounced "Vevor" or "Vevor" 🫠
Just like temu or temu? 😅
