Accurately aligning tape in a t-track with a miter saw can be a real challenge. What's more, when you switch blades, there's often a noticeable difference in thickness. This stop block cleverly allows for small adjustments (up to ~1/8") via a movable window with a cursor, ensuring seamless alignment every time. Many table saw fences feature this type of ingenious design. To build your own precision stop block, you'll need the following parts: - A 5/16 T-bolt measuring 1.5 inches in length - A small screw - A thin piece of transparent plastic The stop block boasts a recess specifically designed to hold a small acrylic ("plexiglass") window. You can easily find suitable alternatives online or at your local home improvement store.
