I here ya Mike. I've got a craftsman saw, to say the least, it never cut straight. I checked all measurements with it, turned out, there's a slight "wobble" in the motor shaft. I'll keep it if only for using as a extra bench.
I did get lucky with my multi-tool, in the fact the miter slots are the same as my new Grizzly. Not saying I don't like the new miter gauge from Grizzly but, I really like the one from my multi-tool in the fact it will clamp down on the workpiece. If I can, I'll post a pic of both miter gauges.
And thanks for the poplar suggestion, I got plenty of that in storage. May use them til the metal one's arrive.
