Kreg Precision Miter Guage and UniT Fence
I bought the Kreg miter guage to upgrade the stock Unisaw guage. I was disappointed in the diagram and instructions for set-up. It looks like they made some changes to the product but didn't update the documentation.
No worries, it wasn't hard to figure out. I also had difficulty getting the 5 nylon set screws started in their respective holes in the main bar. Perhaps some clean up of the threads after milling was needed.
The negatives aside, this is a fine tool. It is easily adjustable both for position left and right and angles. I especially like the brass indexing post for quick set of 9 different positions.
I like the Flip Stop for accurately trimming multiple pieces. It is easy to set for an accurate cut and there is no need to be fussing with clamping a stop block and remeasuring.
Amazon sent free shipping for $139.
The Uni-T Fence is an aluminum extrusion with UHMW face that replaces the stock Unifence extrusion. I like this very much for the extra t-tracks that allow attachment of hold-downs and such.
