Why do I need the MasterPlate to tune up my tablesaw?
Until now, we have all used the saw blade to align our saws. The saw blade was designed for cutting wood and plastic, not for aligning and calibrating your equipment. Using a saw blade to align your system gives you very little distance to measure parallelism to the miter slot, because of the saw carbide tips, gullets, anti-noise slots and gum and pitch build up in the saw blade. The saw blade, even when fully extended gives limited distance to measure because of the arc of the blade. The MasterPlate gives you a full 10 inch x 6 inches of precision flat, smooth surface to align your systems.
