Radial Arm Saw Alignment Gauges
MasterGage tools help verify the multiple geometric relationships that affect radial arm saw performance. Use measured references for blade travel fence position table squareness and applicable miter or bevel settings.
Machine Set Up
Radial arm saws require careful adjustment because the blade arm carriage table fence and angle settings interact. MasterGage tools can help verify relevant square parallel height and angle references. Follow the manufacturer’s adjustment sequence and safety requirements before operating the saw.
Machine Maintenence
• Check blade travel against the fence reference
• Verify blade-to-table and blade-to-fence relationships
• Confirm miter and bevel settings
• Support repeatable crosscuts and angle cuts
• Troubleshoot setup changes after maintenance or relocation
• Verify blade-to-table and blade-to-fence relationships
• Confirm miter and bevel settings
• Support repeatable crosscuts and angle cuts
• Troubleshoot setup changes after maintenance or relocation
The following MasterGage precision alignment tools are designed for use with a Radial Arm 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.
MasterPlate
Use the MasterPlate as a broad, precision-ground reference surface for aligning compatible table saws and other saws. Its 6 x 10 inch aluminum plate provides more usable measuring surface than a toothed saw blade when checking miter-slot parallelism, blade squareness, miter settings, and bevel settings.
