A Precise Table Saw from an Electric Hand Saw

Step 4: The rest of the miter gauge

Cut a disc from 3/4 inch plywood that has a radius of 2 7/16 inches.  I turned it on my lathe, but a bandsaw or jigsaw will also do the job.  Slice away nearly half of the disc, but leave the center.  Drill a 1/4 inch hole on center.  Countersink the hole for the nut and washer.  Glue and/or screw a face piece onto the disc.  Glue on some fine sandpaper, if desired, to prevent work slippage on the face of the miter gauge.
