KREGKMS7102 Table Saw Precision Miter Gauge System - Factory Calibrated - with Miter Gauge Fence & Bar - Miter Gauge for Table Saw

The Kreg KMS7102 Precision Miter Gauge System is a top-tier upgrade for any table saw user looking for repeatable, highly accurate cuts. Right out of the box, it's factory-calibrated and requires minimal setup. The precision is spot on—it locks in angles securely and doesn’t drift during the cut, which is a major improvement over the wobbly, basic miter gauges that come with most saws.The fence and stop system are extremely helpful for making consistent crosscuts and angled cuts. The anodized aluminum fence is long, sturdy, and easy to adjust, while the adjustable bar fits snugly in the miter slot with zero play, eliminating inaccuracies caused by wiggle or flex.The angle markings are clear and precise, and the positive stops at common angles (like 0°, 22.5°, 45°) make setup fast and frustration-free. Whether you're working on fine woodworking or just want dead-on cuts in DIY projects, this gauge delivers.If you want to upgrade your table saw for greater accuracy, repeatability, and ease of use, the Kreg KMS7102 is worth every penny. It’s a reliable, professional-quality tool that makes a noticeable difference.

WOW! What a nicely made item! You have to put it together. There are like four small bags of parts, some of which you may not need, depending on your saw table. There are a couple of extras of some of the plastic parts. The instructions lists exactly how many you need and you only use them on the single step involving them. You might have extras. They will not be used later on in the installation. You did not miss anything. ;-) The "fence stop" parts are shown in the instructions in a manner that allows you to clearly see how they are assembled, but the instructions never mention where they go; luckily, the box has some excellent information and photos. There is a small part on the "Swing Stop" (the "support button") that is a tiny bit too thick, preventing the Swing Stop arm from fully doing what it needs to do. I found that I had the Nylock nut too tight. Once I backed off on it so that it moved as per the instructions, the support button was only a very minor problem. Perhaps buying a small, brass or teflon washer sized to match the two brass ones in the kit (and maybe half as thick, hence my suggestion for teflon) would make this fit perfectly. The self-adhesive rule is METAL, so the instructions to use strong scissors or snips is something you should heed. I used scissors, large ones, and may need to sharpen them after doing this. You get a four foot section of this rule and you cut it at 1 and at 25 and it fits just about perfectly. The trough it runs in needs to be cleaned first with an alcohol swab (or whatever) to degrease it. The trough is exactly the correct depth, but there is a little bit of wiggle room from top to bottom, so peel off about six inches of backing at a time, press the rule against the far side and then press it flat a little at a time. Then your rule will be perfectly aligned. (This is totally not important. I am just OCD when it comes to being as precise as I can with stuff like this.) The four "glides" that are installed into the fence arm are TIGHT. I had to press hard to get them started and then tap them in with a tack hammer to get them fully seated. They look like they could easily fall out or move; they won't as the fit is snug. The little lens came in a small ziplock baggie. The other parts were in sealed bags. I saved the ziplock baggie for the unused parts. (The main unused parts - for me - were a T-guide for the track bar. My table has a 3/4" slot with straight sides. Some have a T-guide to lock the attachments in place. This kit comes with a T disc and screw for the track bar that I did not use. Since I may purchase a new table in the near future I decided to save these along with the extra nylon adjuster pins and glides; I might want them later. The brass lock pin was missing in my kit and I was sort of pissed off about that. Then I took the thin, plastic tray out of the box. It has fallen out of its little cubby during shipping. It is the only LOOSE part on this device. You need to make sure that however you store this that this pin does not disappear on you. It fits snugly, and if you sort of torque the two fence and guide together a bit and then lock the protractor down the pin stays in place well enough. Excellent product. I like Kreg stuff and will buy more. Easily as nice as the Incra, perhaps nicer. Recommended!

I needed a better tee square for my table saw. I looked at ones that cost a lot, but I purchased this one it is very accurate and easy to use, and fits any table saw that has the slots in the table top. And the price did not break the bank.

The main issue with this miter gauge is the adjustment system for the bar that runs in the groove of the table saw. It consists of a few nylon screws that can be adjusted to take the lateral play out of the bar. If you have a smaller table saw (I have a DeWalt with an 8 1/4" blade), the miter gauge frequently will need to be pulled far back to accommodate a larger piece of wood. When the it is that far back, there is considerable lateral wobble until it is inserted further and the next nylon screw engages the groove. A better design would have been an expanding bar that is the correct width regardless of insertion depth.A second issue is not really a problem with the gauge itself, but rather something people with smaller saws need to be aware of. As I said, on a smaller saw with a larger piece of wood, the miter gauge needs to be pulled far back before beginning the cut. Due to the width and heft of the gauge, it will want to tip to one side. Taking these two issues together, when cutting a larger piece of wood on a small saw, you will need to work hard to keep the piece square with the cutting fence until the nylon screws engage, while simultaneously preventing the gauge from tipping to one side. It can be done but takes some practice.Otherwise, the gauge is a quality instrument. I have no regrets about buying it.
