On a table saw, is the distance between the center of the blade and the center of the miter slot standard on all or most saws? Thanks. – Jerry

Tim Inman: NO. Each brand – and sometimes each individual machine! – is different, although they are often close. Each jig you make is unique to the saw you make it for, darn it. Most are 3/4 inch slots, though.
Excellent for attaching featherboards, hold-downs and special jigs to your table saw, router table, disc sander or any other tool with a standard 3/4' wide x 3/8' deep miter gauge slot. 4-3/4' long slot bars fit both square and T-shaped miter gauge slots, and expand in the slot as you tighten the knob. Make your own jigs & hold-downs. Excellent for attaching feather boards, hold-downs, and special jigs to your table saw, router table, disc sander, or any other tool with a standard 3/4' wide x 3/8' deep miter gauge slot. The bars pull up tight in the slot as you tighten the knobs. These square-slot Bars fit both square and t-shaped miter gauge. If I wanted a quick and easy way to insure the fence is the same dimension from the miter slot at each end, I'd use a tri-square set to the intended dimension and check at both ends of the table. The intended dimension would take into account the distance from the kerf to the miter slot. About 3' or 4' depending on your saw.

Chris Marshall: Following up on Tim’s answer, here’s a case in point. I have two cabinet saws in the shop right now — a Craftsman and a Delta Unisaw. There’s close consistency between these two saws concerning miter slot placement, but they aren’t identical. The distance between Delta’s slots is 9-15/16 in. (5-1/2 in. from the left slot to the face of the arbor flange on the left and 4-7/16 in. from the flange to the right slot). On the Craftsman, the slots are an even 10 in. apart (5-1/2 in. from the left slot to the flange and 4-1/2 in. from the flange to the right slot). It’s only a 1/16 in. variation, but that can make all the difference when trying to retrofit crosscut sleds and other jigs from one saw to another.
