Summary: Overrated
Comment: Because the screw issue has not been resolved (see other reviews), assembly can be maddening. It is too heavy: sturdy is good, but this gauge is awkwardly heavy. Without a T-slot (and maybe even a lateral table extension), anything but narrow stock will have this gauge falling off the table.
Reviews here imply this is a "must have" for precision work. Fastening a milled board to a conventional gauge (preferably with an adjustable rod, to eliminate lateral play) and clamping on a stop on occasion has a lot going for it.

Summary: Miter gauge does what it says!
Comment: The JDS 18-34 Accu-Miter Gauge does everything it claims it can do.It was simple to assemble and adjust it.Adjustments have held true so far.I've used it alot in the short time I've had it. Comparing it to 3 other miter gauges I have its by far the best, but I feel it should be. I paid the price for a quality tool and got one.

Summary: Great Mitre Gage
Comment: This is a rock-solid mitre gage. Easy to set up and use. There are two stops on the gage and both are easy to use and produce extremely repeatable cuts. Customer service at JDS is efficient and nice. (I accidently knocked the gage off of the workbench and one of the stops broke. JDS quickly shipped a replacement for a nominal fee, $4). It's an expensive gage. But, I do so much cross cutting that the cost is justified.
Also, I really, really like the stop. It is easy to adjust very precisely because it has a screw mechanism that allows the user to sneak up on the perfect length. It is a really nice feature.

Summary: Very good product overall
Comment: I received this item today, and quickly assembled it and put it on my Delta contractor's saw. The only criticism I have is the screws for adjusting the bar to the slot. The screws on mine were already tightened down as far as they could go, it appeared, so I was not able to remove all play, there's a tiny bit left but it probably is not enough to worry about. I had a complaint about the optional manual clamp, but I'll put that on the page for that item. Haven't had a chance to use this much yet, but it seems to be a well made product.

Summary: Accu-Miter is rock solid
Comment: I have been looking for a miter guage for my Sears Contractor Table saw for years. I have always been concerned about the flex in the bar when extended. No flex here. This baby is rock solid. It has good weight to it, so it sits tight in the miter slot. It can be adjusted in case you have a little wider slot than most saws. Mine fit right in the first time. There was a problem with one of the screws. The thread was machined wrong,so when I received the Miter guage, the screw was already stripped. Called JDS and they sent a replacement in two days. Seems they could put an extra screw in the bag. Most companies do. Set up can be a little tricky if you are not an experienced woodworker. Instructions are a little vague. It took me about an hour to assemble it and square it to the saw blade. It probably would have taken less time if I had not messed around trying to fix the thread on the screw. If you are looking for a replacement guage, you won't be disappointed with the Accu-Miter
