Table Saw Miter Slot Size
Craftsman Table Saw Miter Gauge
The dimensions of the saw are 34.5″ wide x 58″ deep thanks to the fold up out feed table and measure 35″ high. The table size is 25″ x 19 5/8″ and features 2 extendable wings which means you get a 55 1/2″ wide surface, giving you a max rip of 24″ not only to the left of the blade, but also to the right. Which I haven’t seen on any other portable table saw. Before you begin cutting, you’ll need to know what your miter slot dimensions are. My miter slots are 3/8″ deep, by 3/4″ wide. This is basically standard, but it does vary. It depends on your table saw’s brand. Many small table saws have what are called tabbed miter slots.
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.

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.
