Good morning everyone from chilly but sunny Western Australia. Last night I mentioned that I have been using a similar method to Niki's for making mitres over the last 25 or more years, I in no way intended to downplay his very precision version of the method which as always was beautifully presented. I show below the rather crude version which I used with reasonable success until I bought the Triton set-up in 2000. Compared to many other table saws the Triton looks rather crude, but in fact is capable of first class work and the mitre gauge method of making mitres is accurate, as George pointed out,so long as the gauge itself is an accurate 90deg. it doesn't matter if it is set slightly out because the smaller angle will be complimented by the larger angle ie; the angle will add up to 90deg.
