I ordered the Delta 34-779 Miter Gauge from Amazon. Truthfully, for this price, I didn't expect much. First of all, I expected it to be made of plastic. When I received it, I was amazed to find that it was made of metal! Additionally, it fit precisely into the slot of my Delta sander, no play or wiggle at all. Lastly, having stops at 45 and 90 degrees means that I don't have to measure the angle over and over again. I checked out the miter gauge recommended by another reviewer and that one cost five times as much. The Delta 34-779 Miter Gauge does everything that I need at a great price. Highly recommended.

Very poor construction for the price. Unit was bent on arrival, and refund policy was not followed for a return of a defective item.

This addition to my husband's new saw was just what he wanted. It arrived quickly and was exactly as described.

You need to use some other criteria to make sure this miter gauge will fit your table besides the manufacturer's claim that "it fits all tables with 3/4" by 3/8" miter grooves". For instance, if you measure the Delta TS200 Shopmaster 10" Portable Bench Saw's grooves, they look to be 3/4" by 3/8"-- however, the 34-779 Miter Gauge does NOT fit this table. My guess is, it fits higher end tables (especially Delta) with these groove measurements. The TS200 is their lowest end table and is probably not made in the same factory as their higher quality saws.

The gauge itself looks great-- it is all metal and the markings and adjustments look and feel high quality. Just make sure it fits first!

This a perfectly good replacement for the original, and if that's all you want, go for it. However, if you want a really good miter guage that does far more than this one, and you don't mind spending a bunch more money for a lot more capable product, try the Osborne EB-3 Miter Guide. It's extremely accurate and has a much longer surface against which to place the wood. If you want perfection and high quality, it's the way to go.
