I'm thinking I need a miter guage upgrade for my Delta table saw (the one you get at Lowes.) I was in  Rockler the other day and saw the Osborne EB-3. Anyone have one of those? It gets good reviews.
Is there another one I should be looking for?

I have one.  My opinion is its junk.  A great design but cheap construction ruined it.  Too much flex and hard to adjust.

I use an old Vega miter gauge that I bought at auction years ago.  Heavy duty with no flex and easy to adjust.  I added a sliding table to my Unisaw and use the miter gauge in it all the time.

Some of the Incra miter gauges look interesting.  I would investigate them before spending money on the Osborne.

I have and recommend the Incra 1000HD.  It has 180 positive stops for all the degrees you need.  It has an extendable fence and a flip stop to make repeatable cuts.  My only problem with it is that I accidentally touched it to my sawstop and fired the brake.  Didn't hurt the miter gauge at all.  Have to be careful when tilting to big angles as the fence can come in contact with the blade.

I bought the incra 5000 sled and wouldn't buy it again. Poor quality plus the extrusions and stop are wide and clumsy to use. Finally wound up replacing all the incra extrusions with a thin kreg extrusion and stop that's easier to use, safer,  and let's me cut wider panels. The gauge  indexing is accurate though.

Incra all the way, best on the market. Even works on my old cast iron hardware store brand table saw. I had to get a new fence to because the old one was crap. Never looked back. 8)






Sawstop? You spent some quid on that, they pricey. ;D $3000 to $7000 grand up this way depending on what you're after. ;D

You could get the Incra V120 and put a wooden block on it.
