Here’s the typical approach to setting the fence on your table saw. You get it close, check it, unlock it, bang it with the heel of your hand, lock it, check it, unlock it, bang it with the heel of your hand….I’ve done this a million times, and I’m sure you have, too. Rockler’s Table Saw Magnet Micro Adjuster provides an elegant, and inexpensive, solution for adjusting a table saw fence. It’s all about fine tuning with a screw, instead of with the heel of your hand. Click below to check out our video product review.

I believe that this tool will be of great assistance.
This tool works in only one direction. To resolve this issue when I bought mine several months ago, I embedded a rare earth magnet in my Biesemeyer fence. Works great now.
Great idea,......but mine fell apart at the glued seam. Not from being dropped or overused, but it just seperated when I pulled it away from the rail.
I already have micro-adjust on my fence and love it! I've had it for over 3 years and use it all the time for critical adjustments
highly over priced for the way it works. moving in one direction and not being able to back up is very frustrating. in two words - it sucks.
In the world of woodworking gadgets, why this one?
I put this on my saw a while back, and have been fairly happy with it. I do wish it provided a way to pull the fence back, but I've been able to easily work around this. So, why this gadget? Because I was curious about it, and figured others would be, too. Product reviews are intended to show the product so that individuals can decide if it's for them or not. G
I am very new at woodworking (6 months at it). Got excited when I saw this product, but after reading some of the comments about it, I think I will leave it alone. Thanks anyway.
Buy an Incrafence. I love mine - it is so easy to make microadjustments. I'll never go back to the tap-the-fence-trialcut-tap-the fence routine again.
