Frequently Asked Questions

What tools can I set up with these bars?

They're perfect for dialing in table saw blade height, angle, and fence distance, router table fence alignment, router bit height and depth, and even bandsaw fence setups.

How do I use these bars to set the blade height on my table saw?

Simply place the desired bar over your blade, with the opening in the bar straddling it, and raise the blade until the tooth tips touch the bottom of the bar. If the saw's blade starts raising the bar, you've gone too high.

What are the angle gauges used for?

The built-in angles (30°, 35°, 45°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 85°, 90°) let you quickly check and adjust your blade tilt without needing a separate angle finder.

How do I use the angled edges for blade tilt?

Set the desired angle against the side of the blade, then tilt the blade until the surface of the blade is flush with the angled surface on the bar. This helps you quickly achieve common angles like 45° or 60° without pulling out a protractor.

Do I need to calibrate or recheck these bars over time?

No recalibration is needed—these are solid precision tools. Just keep them clean and free of debris for the most accurate results. Built up debris can change the overall dimensions. Store them in their box to prevent damage to the bars, which can also affect their dimensions.

Can I stack the bars to create custom measurements?

Yes! The flat sides and precise machining allow for safe stacking to achieve non-standard sizes, like combining 1/8" and 3/16" for a 5/16" measurement. Just be sure to keep any debris from getting between the bars.

How do I store the bars?

The bars come with their own box for easy storage.
