Using my new Osborne EB-3 mitre gauge....

Hi Ken:

I think I read a post some time in the past that stated that you need to move something from the left to the right on the EB-3. Please comment on this as I will be ordering one next week. I re-stock my shop during the summer months with supplies and goodies. No woodworking due to the 105 to 115 degree heat here in the south west. I save the A/C and electric for the house.

Here is all you have to do and why.

I had an Incra 1000 for about a week and sold it, it was just to bulky and did not work very well for me. You get it all set up with a fence on it and it just to big bulky for me. If you don't put a fence on it, it so slick you just can't use it.
Another thing is once you get the scales all set up and you want to cut some 45s you have to move it back because it is square on the end, not cut at a 45 like the EB-3 is. Now you have to reset the scale all over again.

Well now .... One forgetful moment and the Incra will very soon be 45 degrees on the end.

Ken, I've had an EB-3 for two or three years now and it has worked very well for me. I will reverse that lock stop and flipper-stop, however as that just makes good sense.
