Installation Guide

Your MICRODIAL Tapering Jig is factory calibrated and ready to go. In

the unlikely event that the MICRODIAL scales are not aligned properly,

follow these steps to recalibrate the jig to make the scales accurate

once more.

CALIBRATING THE SCALES AND MICRODIALS

1. Turn the MICRODIAL so the pointer

that corresponds with the red 0°

label is pointing towards the scale.

Drop the pin into the 0° hole.

Loosen the screws that hold the

scale in place and shift it so the red

0° line aligns with the pointer.

2. Repeat the process at the other end

of the scale aligning red 10° line

with the same 0° pointer. Tighten

the screws and double check to

make sure nothing shifted. Your jig

should now be calibrated. Use the

same technique to calibrate the rise

and run scale.

Sometimes it is easier to simply layout the taper on your workpiece and

then cut to that line. To set your MICRODIAL Tapering Jig to cut to a line,

lay out the taper on the face of your workpiece. Extend the layout line

down the ends and/or edges of the piece so you can see exactly where

you want the taper to begin and end. NOTE: Once you have the jig set,

use the degree scale to determine the actual measurement and record it

in your Project Log (page 28).

1. Lay out the taper on your

workpiece. Hold the piece on

your saw so the beginning and

end points align with the edge

of the miter gauge slot (which

should be parallel to the blade).

Hold the jig against the rip fence

and adjust both the fence and jig

so they hold the piece with the

layout line aligned with the slot.

Tighten both the locking knob

and the pivot knob to set the jig.

Reposition the fence to make

the cut.
