My solution to doubtful detente's

[Rich]

I have a cheapo scms from B/Q, I've never been happy with the "detente" so I resolved to make a device that would guarantee the angles I required,I removed the plastic insert and "copy routed" a hard wood substitute blank.

After plunging the blade through the blank, I then made a guage to be a snug fit in the kerf cut.

Next I made an angle guage consisting of a 90/45 deg angle.

When the two guages are used I get a guaranteed 90/45 deg cut, simple but effective.

Rich.

This is a good idea, Rich. I couldn't see quite how it worked at first - I was looking at it the wrong way around... - but, now I've got it! :wink:

I've been struggling to set the fence on my Bosch saw square the blade but, with this idea I may be able to get it sorted once and for all.
