One of the most common headaches in woodworking is making accurate miter cuts. Whether you're creating unique segmented wood pieces, constructing a picture frame, or doing high-end finish work, a well-cut joint is easy to appreciate. You may be thinking two things are necessary for a no-gap miter joint:

1) A correctly calculated and set miter angle;

2) Pieces cut to the right length.

Getting the right length is achieved with accessories like the 24" Aluminum Miter Gauge Extension, the 20" Aluminum Miter Gauge Extension, or the Shopsmith miter stop rod. But, until now, getting the correct angle has been more difficult and time consuming.

The Solution: The MiterSet!

The MiterSet Standard stands out with accurate and fast set-up at ½ degree increments, eliminating concerns about how accurately you’ve set-up your Miter Gauge indicator plate. With the MiterSet Standard, just place one pin in the zero hole and the other in the hole for the desired angle. The holes are clearly labeled with large, easy-to-read numbers giving the angle at every 5 degrees. For angles that are not a multiple of 5 degrees, you'll use the included detent bar to add or subtract up to 2 ½ degrees, in ½ degree increments. Then, loosen your miter gauge lock. Place your miter gauge bar in the MiterSet slot (which was made specially for an accurate fit of your Shopsmith miter gauge bar). Slide your miter gauge against the pins, and then relock your miter gauge. That quickly, your miter gauge will be flawlessly set to the angle you need for your project.
