Delta Auto Set Miter Gauge

The Delta Auto Set Miter Gage Model No. 864 was a standard accessory item that came with Delta table saws including the 10" Unisaw, 10" Contractor's Saw, 9" Bench Model Tilting Arbor Bench Saw, 8" Tilting Arbor Table Saw, 8" Tilting Table Circular Saw, and the 10" Tilting Table Circular Saw.

The miter gage also can be used in the grooves provided on Delta 14" band saws, and the 6" by 48" belt and 12" disc sanders and the combination belt and disc sander. It also fits the Delta light and heavy duty shapers.

The miter gage has a 7 inch face and a 3/8" x 3/4" x 18" bar which fits the table slot of circular saws and other machines. It can be set at any angle up to 60 degrees to the right or left, and it has adjustable stops for instantaneous settings at zero and 45 degrees to the right or left. It can be adjusted to compensate for wear or loosening the head by merely loosening or tightening a tapered pivot screw.

	Face of Delta Auto Set Miter Gage. When crosscutting on the table saw, the wood is held firmly against the flat face of the miter gage. The two knurled knobs on top are for using the Delta stop rods that are available for cutting duplicate pieces to the same length.
	Top view of the miter gage showing the knurled knot to tighten down the head of the gage to the bar after it has been set.
	Underneath side of the miter gage showing the 3/8" by 3/4" by 18" long bar and the die-cast metal head.
	Left side view of the miter gage showing the pointer at the back of the bar. The pointer points to the markings for the angle of cut on the head of the miter gage. Set at 90 degrees the cut across the grain of the wood is perpendicular to the length of the piece.
	The right side view of the miter gage showing the positive stops at 90 and 45 degrees. These can be precisely adjusted with a screwdriver to ensure a perfect 90 or 45 degree cut. Note the pointer that pointed to the degree scale on the head and the positive stop for 90 degree cuts that could be pivoted away to allow the head to swing either direction.
