Band Saw Alignment Gauges
MasterGage tools help woodworkers verify the setup relationships that affect band saw tracking and cut consistency. Use a measured reference when checking the table fence guides wheels and blade-related setup before fine work.
Machine Set Up
For band saw setup begin with the manufacturer’s procedures for blade condition tension tracking and guide adjustment. MasterGage precision tools can help verify related table and fence references so machine adjustments are based on a known measurement rather than guesswork. Proper setup supports more consistent cuts and should be combined with the machine manufacturer’s safety instructions and normal shop practices.

• Verify the table reference before setting a blade angle
• Check fence relationship to the intended cutting line
• Use measured setup checks instead of visual estimates alone
• Support repeatable resawing and curved-cut setup
• Diagnose alignment concerns before making adjustments

The following MasterGage precision alignment tools are designed for use with a Band Saw
MasterGage® Professional Package
The MasterGage Professional is a broad woodworking-machine alignment, calibration, setup, and troubleshooting system. It combines a precision dial indicator, height scales, protractor capability, and accessories for measured setup across compatible machines.
MasterGage® Classic Package
The MasterGage Classic is a versatile non-angular woodworking-machine alignment and setup system. Use its precision-ground body, dial indicator, scales, and accessories to check heights, squareness, parallelism, and applicable machine relationships.
Universal Angle Guide & Height Gauge
Transfer and read woodworking angles, set saw blade or router-bit height, and work from a clear physical reference with the Universal Angle Guide & Height Gauge. It reads 0 to 180 degrees in 1/2-degree increments and includes fractional and metric height gauges.
