The Craftsman Digital Miter Gauge determines precise miter and bevel angles with +/- .1 degree accuracy. The digital clarity of the backlit LED screen easily identifies angles and reads right side up, even when upside down, to increase the accuracy of the cutting task. Reads angles up to 50 right and 50 left of 0. The locking handle securely locks the miter head in position and three adjustable expansion points are featured for precise table-slot fit. The 15 in. extruded aluminum fence extends the work area while the magnetic blade attachment attaches to the miter bar for blade-to-table squaring and angle adjustment. For use with all bench, portable and stationary tools with a standard 3/4-in. miter-gauge slot.

I have just finished an entire summer living with this gauge. Frankly, I am not sure how I got along without it. My eyes aren't what they used to be. I built the gauge into my home made sliding table, and it has worked flawlessly through hundreds of cuts. I just finished a cherry table and chair set. The chairs have 8 degree compound miters, and every one is right on the money. In fact, the parts for all the chairs were interchangeable. I have no doubt that I could have made these angles by measuring each setup diligently, since I have done it many times before in six decades of woodworking; but I never would have believed how effortlessly I was able reproduce compound miters. As for the cover and battery, I have had no trouble with either, but I did build the gauge into my sliding table. If you are worried about the accuracy of your current miter gauge, or you just want to be able to reproduce angles exactly, buy one of these gauges, make sure you have a good accurate square to adjust it in the first place (otherwise it will not be accurate), and make your life easier. It will take you about 15 minutes with a good square to align it with your saw blade, but it will stay spot on unless you drop it. Follow the advice in the manual to make sure that you move the gauge to the same spot on the table for each adjustment. This was a remarkable good investment for me. RL

I waited about 6 months for these to become available. I finally was able to purchase one at my local Sears store. I read the instructions and found out that it required 2 AAA battries so I ran out picked up some new ones and headed back to the shop. I opened the battery door, AND IT FELL OFF ! THE 1 CENT HINGED PLASTIC DOOR FELL OFF !! This said, I was able to duct tape the door closed so I could try it out. It is extremely accurite. I used a sign bar and gage blocks to check the cuts at 15, 22.5, 30 and 45 degrees. It was within 15minutes in all instances. I am now patiently waiting for another one.

a DIYerJust as dependable as the Digital Cubes, Calipers. Used to set the angled shoulder of some rails/rungs I'm making for a set of splay legged stools. as well as the angle of the tenons. Fit perfectly into the legs of the stools. So setting the angles on both ends were accurate using the digital readout on the mitre. Was pleased with the results of the the tool as well as the price.
a DIYerI like the miter gauge, but it was sort of difficult to install and understand the directions. What I really don't like is the time it took the Sears salespeople in the tools dept. to even find the gauge in their store. The tools sales staff is not knowledgeable about the products they have for sale. I even have to bring my own Craftsman club catalog because the store seldom has one to check.
But, overall, I do like Craftsman products and have a large table saw, hand and bench sanders, drills, reciprocating saw, air compressor, vacuum, etc., all bought at the local Sears.
a DIYerEarlier this year I bought a Sears Craftsman boxjoint/miter gauge fence (one size fits all) to use with the origional miter gauge on my table saw. To make a long story short, the joints never came out as needed because of slop or play in my origional miter gauge. I had been looking around for an after market miter gauge for several months and came across this Sears model. This was just what I was looking for!
Today I purchased one, brought it home and went to the shop. I followed the instructions and finished the minor amount of assembly in five minutes. The setup was flawless. The miter gauge rides in its' track without any play in it. You can set it on any degree with no effort and it stays there. I am delighted! It does everything the ad says with no problem except,,,
The Sears Craftsman boxjoint/miter gage fence (this was supposed to fit all miter guages) does not fit or match up to my new Sears Craftsmas Digital Miter Guage! How can this be?
I believe in honestyNever had a chance to use this, since my CRAFTSMAN table saw has a NON-standard 5/8" slot. Frustrating.
