For use on a Table Saw, must the base be level to get a starting angle? Mar garage floor is sloped.

Nope. The idea is to make the saw blade cut are your required angle relative to the work surface. Even if that surface is not level. So you first set the Angle Guage on the sufface and press Zero. Then place the Guage on the blade to adjust for the angle (true angle relative to the surface). I've found that the adjustment markings on my table saw and chop saw are not accurate enough to eliminate minor gaps in longer pieces like picture frame corners or door fronts. Very nice little device.

Well it do sent matter if the tablesaw is level because the saw blade angle is set relative to the table. This works really well. I was able to set the angles to cut crown molding flat which involves some precise angle alignment. Just set the base setting on the table then stick it to the blade and adjust it to the right angle

You "zero" the unit out either on the saw table or a given surface. Then it will read the difference in angles from one surface to another. These are very accurate units, and we use them in our bending process along with setting and checking angles on our laser welding system. Top.

There is a "zero" button that will set you to a zero level as long as, say...your table saw deck is flat.
1567641
no, simply zero where you wish, it will measure the angle from that "starting" point.
1567642
you can set zero at any starting point. if your blade is 90 deg. with the table to start, you can set zero and adjust from there.

No, the floor does not have to be level according to the gift recipient. One simply zeros out the Wixey while on the table saw and subsequent measurements are relative to the plane of the table.

By adjusting the height of the stone using the crank handle on top of the machine is what changes the cutting angle for myself I cut a piece of wood to the desired angle and use it to set a 30 degree angle for my blades, your blades may be different.

It will require you to secure a base plate to the opposite end of the machine. You can make this base plate from a piece of angle ( aluminum or steel) screwed into the edge of the table. The wood plate attached to the angle and the carriage stop. It will be a pain in the neck changing things so you can use the saw. Can't use this setup for a saw fence. Not stable enough.

The kit doesn't have a gauge, but it does have a guide that sets the distance for garden tools and such. The attachment for chain saws has lines to indicate the angle to be used. The only thing that is missing here is the 5-10 degree angle of upward tilt that you need, but if you follow the angle of the teeth, you should be able to guesstimate that yourself. Hope that helps.

It is self leveling to a certain degree. You can't have it at laying at a 45 degree angle and expect it to self level, but if you get it close, it will self level.

When you say "uneven base", I'm assuming that you're talking about the bottom of each slot not being flat.....as opposed to the "depth of cut" causing the bottom of each slot to not be perfectly level with the slot on either side of it. If it's the second scenario, maybe there is a problem with the saw blade guard not being level with the saw table, or stock is somehow moving, causing the "depth of cut" to vary. Arbor run out should not cause the problem, but make sure that the blades fit snugly on the arbor (arbor might be worn and under original diameter) and the arbor nut is secure.

If the tilt is the wrong direction then cut from the opposite direction. I really love the cordless saw .I might use it as often as my corded saw. Allen R.

As shown in the picture there is a slight incline as the base rests on a cross bar, so as you see it in the picture is how it starts you need it this way to get in and adjust the foot lock setting, so I guess no to completely vertical.

my husband answered with the following'If attachment area is flat and large enough to set the base on it will drill at any angle'hope that helps. My husband loves this tool.

You would need to check to see what gauge the Dewalt shoots and also be sure is not angled. Can't really answer that with knowing which Dewalt nailer you have.

Not sure I understand which way you want the angle to go. If the unit lists as giving a 90 degree angle, I would consider less angle to be 100-110 degrees, or so. 70 degrees means that the foot would be turned UP an additional amount! which I don't think you can do. You CAN adjust it to be less bend, or more angle.

There is a bolt underneat the table which allows the elevation base to be horizontally rotated, ccw or cw, up to about 45 degrees or so and then retightened. No angular indicator is incorporaterd into the drill press. Not a precion device but it is robust.

I had no trouble. You do have to make sure you are on a very hard surface. I did it on the concrete floor of my garage, and I may have had to use a piece of wood as a brace to balance it.

I don't think it would give you enough room to give it a slant, It works great as an access ladder though

I was afraid of the same thing since my shed has a low, sloped roof. It didn't turn out to be a problem since most of the holes are large enough to start the tool in at an angle. Also, you can just make sure the tallest tools go into the open front "clips".

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.

This is like a hand held jig saw mounted upside down on table. Connot compair it with band saw. The arm and foot does help steady work but you have to hold work piece firmly. I will say i love my saw for all kinds of cutting and short work in wood and metal. Great tool to add to shop if you have band saw and table saw. Hop this helps
