Micro Adjust Table Tilt

[dusty]

On another thread there has just been a discussion about setting up the Mark V Table Tilt for use with the Conical Sanding Disk. This setup can be done quit effectively using nothing more than a square; however, the tilt angle that you might want is not always exactly equal to 90 degrees.

When that happens to be my task at hand, I employ a Wixey and a simple devise that I keep in the shop for "micro adjustment". It is nothing more than a piece of threaded rod with a knurled nut and a block (with a small hole in it)
that spans the way tubes.

With this setup, I can easily fine tune any angle that I might want the table to be. It is shown here on the Mark V but I often use it on the band saw as well.

Very nice, Dusty!

I am always impressed with your ingenuity. I wish my mind worked that way.

Very good solution, Dusty!

Great! I love stuff like that. Simple, works well and no complicated setup or removal.
There may be a national rush on all-thread rod tomorrow.:)
And cheap too. :D

Obviously Dusty by name but not by nature!! I wish my SS was as clean as yours. Have you cracked the problem of dust collection with the tablesaw?

Ray:confused:

Dusty-

How do you attach the block to the way tubes? It appears form the picture it is held by screws into the tubes or am I missing something?:confused:

LOOKS like it just sets on top of the way tubes to me.

I assume the end with the cylinder mounted to the end on the thread-all is positioned under the table and nests into a convenient corner between the underside of the table top and a 'vertical' rib. How true is this?:)

BTW Where did you obtain that nice thumbscrew?
