I have been meaning to order these jigs for a while now, and Harry's post http://www.routerforums.com/lobby/116514-these-jigs-bees-knees.html
motivated me to get it done. They arrived last Friday and today I thought I would spend some time with jigs. They are obviously well made, fit and finish is close to perfect. And there is the rub.
This is in no way a criticism of these jigs!
My table saw is a Grizzly G0690, and the miter gauge I use is the Osborne EB3. I have the Osborne set so there is no slop in the miter groove and it gives me great results. But the miter bar will not fit in the Miter Set's groove. Using my calipers, the Miter Set groove is .7505 and my miter gauge bar is .7565. I can change the miter bar to fit the jig, but then I loose the fit in the table saw, and visa versa if I mess with the jig. Even if I decided to dedicate a different miter gauge to the jig I would probably run into the same issue. I know .006 is not that great, but when I am cutting segments it is going to show up. I am going to have to think about this, and I am open to any suggestions.
