Hello everyone, I've been going down the rabbit hole of trying to find high quality precision measuring tools without breaking the bank. It seems like the best way to go is with some cheapo tools ( Empire, Groz, Swanson) or go expensive (Starrett, Woodpeckers, etc.) These are the main tools...

Hey everyone, my dad just upgraded to a Laguna Fusion 2, so he gave me his old craftsman saw from the 80’s. I have refurbished the saw, tuned it up and it’s mostly working great. The problem I have is with the original rip fence for the saw. I squared it up with the saws mitre groove, but it...
