So I'm going through stuff trying to clean up the shop a little and find a couple of 'extra' miter gauges. Don't ask me why I have them or where I got them I don't remember.
After a minute of thinking about whether I should post an ad to dispose of them I realize "I bet this one fits the slot in the table of my bandsaw." I checked and in fact it does.
Now I'm not a real experienced woodworker yet and don't use the bandsaw a ton, but my next thought was "why the heck would anyone need to use a miter gauge on a bandsaw?"
Honestly I can't think of a single reason other than if you don't have a table saw or any other way of making crosscuts.
So marinate me in your wisdom - if you use a miter gauge on your band saw please tell me what it's good for! Thanks.
