A miter gauge is a very useful accessory for the table saw, band saw, router table, shaper and stationary sanders with a guide slot in the table. They can be used in innumerable different setups to accomplish all kinds of cuts. Your machine probably had one with it when new, but maybe now it's lost or old and banged up. I've run across a few that were so loose at the pivot from age that they were virtually useless.

Fortunately there are many replacement gauges on the market as you see below. Some are very simple, like those that usually come with machines. Others are more complicated and offer you more versatility.

The main thing to remember when looking at the more complex miter guages is that you can do anything these complicated units do with a simpler gauge and your own wooden fences and stops that you screw and clamp on. This is the do-it-yourself, economy method. But, you'll fuss and fidget with these home made setups to get them to work right. The advantage to the more complex gauges with their long extruded fences, rigid stops and incremental angle stops is that they make it faster and easier to make an accurate setup. That's what you get for your money.

Look carefully at the design of each to see what its capabilities are and ask yourself if you will use those capabilities frequently. How many projects in the past did you do where this tool would have helped? Choose the one whose design makes sense to you and which you think you will really use.
