There are severaldedicated tools to do this job well like the saw gauge sold by WoodPecekers®.With the throat plate and all attachments removed, raise the blade to the highest position at 90 degrees withthe table. Take an initial measurement about ½ inch from the ground edge of the blade as shown.Keep the miter gauge against the left rail and slowly move across the blade.
