The shot pin indexing affair on my 2001 machine is dead on for the 45? settings. But, if I was doing a picture frame and wanted dead on joints, I¡¯d probably pull out the indicator, only takes a few minutes.

I cannot imagine anyone in business can afford to put a dial indicator every time, when they make a miter. I can see it for a very special piece but not routinely. Do I have it wrong?
Sure, many pros probably have indexing so they don¡¯t have to mess with a dial indicator.

I feel like we need some new Felder Swag:
"It's 11 o'clock . . . do you know where your dial indicator is?"
Same here.

keep a dial indicator on a stand handy at all times,
sits on top of one of my roll aways. Setting the fence
to the blade is always going to give you some error,
unless your set up tool allows for the toe out of the
blade. You need to set fences, straight or angled to the
axis of movement of the slider.
Brian,
I definitely do not want
to bring a dial indicator out every time I
need to set to 45. Yes, my statement was not
the best but I had mentioned earlier that I
want something quick and to me referencing
blade and fence is the quickest method. I did
not mean to imply that it is the only method.

Your statement makes no sense. You use the
square to set the angle of the fence, using a
dial indicator on a stand to indicate the one
edge. The blade has nothing to do with it.
Once the fence is at 45? accurately, you can
cut anything you want.
