Table Saw Mitre Slot Size
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.
Standard miter slot size is 3/4 by3/8 deep, My new table saw #21807 has 5/8 wide 'T' slot. My jigs no longer fit. Any suggestions where it find 5/8 miter jigs?

You can add a miter or sliding fixture to anything that can be routed out to fit the Miter T-Track work bench, table saw extensions, drill press tables, and band saw tables. The miter T-bar slides into the miter track or miter slot in your table saw. The T-bar can be used to make sliding jigs and other fixtures throughout the shop. Hi there and welcome to lumberjocks. I just bought a newer craftsman model 21833, it has the normal miter slots that are 3/4 inch and a cast iron top. Some of the cheaper craftsmans have the smaller slots (the one you are looking at does not thankfully). About 2-3 months ago my saw was a skilsaw table saw with the smaller slots.

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.
