To all my esteemed, multi-talented woodworking buddies who always resolve the most complex difficulties associated with WWing, I pose this dilemma. I like to make jewelry boxes and prefer nice-looking tight joints and square corners. One problem that drives me to religion is my inability to achieve such joinery. I'm out of square by about 1/32" along an 11-inch run. There is a 1/64' difference in distance between the 2 diagonals. Perhaps trivial, maybe I just need to stop drinking so much coffee. Today, I launched a full frontal assault on the problem as follows: I have Grizzly table saw, M#1023 3 HP, equipped with an Incra Miter 3000 miter gauge, and a Freud 50-tooth blade. Using a Starrett combination square that cost the equivalent of an arm and a leg and is accurate to the diameter of an atom, I checked the setting of the miter gauge to the blade, its good at 90 degrees. Using the same square, I checked the vertical alignment of the blade, it is 90 degrees to the table top. Using a digital depth gauge, I checked the parallel rotation of the blade to the left miter slot, its good within 0.002" all around the blade, indicating it is not bent. Using a micrometer, I checked for wobble in the shaft indicating a bad bearing, there is none. I then examined the miter gauge and found (horrors!) a slight end play (<1/64", 1/128"?) at the feed end of the bar that slides in the slot. Using an allen wrench and an ape I had to rent to loosen the screw holding the slotted nylon bearing in place, I removed the bearing and noted it had a very slight flat spot on it. AHA! I moved it around 180 degrees to a better surface. I re-seated the bearing, employed the ape, and discovered I have the same end play. Now what? I dropped for 20 pushups and came in for a nap. Any insight is welcome and much appreciated. hat

If I'm making a bunch of the same things on the lathe, I usually make a setup jig for the various diameters for the turnings. This permits quick settings of the calipers to a known dimension. When turning "one off" type objects, the dimensions are often only needed once or twice for the entire project. That usually means locating the rule, holding it in one hand a adjusting with the other. Not that it's such a big deal but usually just finding the darned ruler can be time consuming. The light bulb went on while turning some ornaments for the Easy Wood Tools Christmas tree. A couple of years ago, the tape measure on my Vega table saw fence tube started to come loose. I ordered another stick on tape from "Kreg" to replace it. Unfortunately the one I needed to replace was for a curved tube surface and the Kreg was for a flat surface. Still I've been able to use it for just these types of ideas- Even though the numbers aren't "calibrated" I can get quick settings up to about 6", with one hand and no searching for that darned ruler!
