Recommendations for Miter Gauge for 510

[pinkiewerewolf]

Whatever you do, don't leave a board locked on the miter gauge, then try to close the garage door to keep the neighbor's cat out.
Resulting in the miter gauge bar getting bent.
That Darn Cat!
Luckily I had another miter gauge bar to replace it with.
I'm a maroon.:o

The SS miter guage will probably be your best choice. If you really want to "upgrade" though, get Incra's MiterSled 5000. It is the biggest miter guage offered, that fits on the SS with no modifications (normal installation withstanding). On sale now for $317.51. http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/catalog/swd_incramitersled.htm

Thanks for the input and the ideas on a miter gauge for my 'new' 1994 model 510. I did decide to stick with SS for the miter gauge - just completed buying one on Ebay - late model one with the new 'drop' down hold down. About $31 including shipping so I'm a happy camper. Next tackling the need for the retractable caster set - have those on the 2 other SS's and can't envision NOT having one on this one!

look for casters where you found miter gauge.:D

Look closely for rust!:(
