Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kreg KMS7102 Table Saw Precision Miter Gauge System
Customer Review: Very Nice for Furniture Making
Summary: 5 Stars
The ease of set up and repeatability using the FlipStop make cutting and tenoning furniture parts a breeze.
I use a two-foot steel rule when setting up and the accuracy is great. I do not use the stick-on rule because I followed the manual instructions and cut it too short. In any event, if you adjust the rail to accommodate an angle setting, you need to carefully reset its position so the tape is correct-too much trouble considering the steel rule provides a direct blade-to-stop measurement. Definitely get the FlipStop if you need to make same-length parts. It is a GREAT feature.
The only objection I have is the little plastic buttons that prevent the rail from rubbing on the table are very easy to knock off and very hard to find on the floor. I cut a strip from a plastic cutting board to replace them. No more problem.
Customer Review: Well designed miter gauge
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been using the miter gauge that came with my table saw to make wood frames with 45 degree angle cuts. It was impossible to get a perfect 45 degree angle as well as consistent lengths. With the small inconsistencies it was difficult to assemble the frame and come up with a good rectangle. The Kreg miter gauge produces perfect 45 degree cuts and using the swing stop, perfectly equal length sides. The Kreg gauge is a bit pricey but very well designed and rugged. The only problem I have found with it was during the initial assembly. They have made some changes to the design of the swing stop which are not reflected in the instructions that ship with gauge. A call to their customer support resulted in a quick answer. [...]. The gauge can be used on either side of the blade but the instructions are set up for using it on the left side of the blade. There is one brief paragraph that discusses how to assemble it for use on the right side.Customer Review: not as good as i would have expected from kreg
Summary: 2 Stars
This product is somewhat of a disappointment. I would have expected a vaery high quality product from kreg. I have had a Dubby sled miter for probably 15 years and have just purchased another and frankly i would recommend that you NOT purchase the kreg miter and seriously consider a dubby by inline industries. It is stable, rock solid and probably the easiest miter out there. The kreg just didn't cut it.
