JessEm 07150 Mite-R-Excel II Miter Gauge

Superb quality a must have item for all craftsman

Beautiful piece of equipment; the quality of the materials, design, and build is just outstanding. There are several other premium miter gauges out there, but this Jessem Mite-R-Excel II is at the top of the list. If I had to pick just one (of several) features I love, it would be the flip stop. It is rock-solid, micro-adjustable, easy to set, and out of the way when not needed.

You don’t need to spend this money if you’re building decks or a shed for the back yard. If you’re doing precision work this is the best miter gauge I have seen out there. It is rigid, tight in the slot, reliably zeroed, capable of very fine adjustment and the build is absolutely bombproof versus any of the high end competitors. It arrived well packaged, in perfect condition, had all of the listed parts and a bit of spare hardware as well. This one also included a micrometer adjustment for the length stop assembly on the fence. It took me just under an hour to assemble it and get it dialed in on my saw (JET Exacta Deluxe). The included manual was well written and walked me through step by step. The mechanisms for adjustment were well thought out and very robust. Once I was finished, I made 6 cuts: (1) at 90, (1) at 45 and (1) at 36.5 then repeated this once again. Accuracy and repeatability were astounding at less than .5 degrees! I build custom furniture, the good stuff. This allows me to make razor tight joints on my main working saw versus transitioning to the miter saw without sacrificing any precision. It’s nice to see that there are still precision toolmakers servicing the woodworking world versus mass producing companies whose main selling point is the elaborate multicolor anodizing they slap on their products. Well done JessEm.

Dass Teil ist echt klasse, aber bei meiner Metabo passt es nicht in die Nut. Ich habe die 90°mit dem Woodpecker winkel nach gemessen und der pasteperfeckt. Also wenn ihr eine breitere Nut habt absolute Kaufempfehlung.

It’s smooth and accurate. The material and workmanship is very nice and just what you would expect to see with the price tag. Setup for mine was minimal. I’m a sucker for Jessem equipment. Sometimes I feel like it is overpriced but when stop and think about it, I realize that quality isn’t cheap. That said, I feel they could have made this one better. They could have beefed up the extendable part and made the whole fence a tad bit longer. The stop on the extension however, is annoying. It is fine if you aren’t using a waste board but, if you are, it only sticks out 1/4”. I kinda shake my head every time. The rule attached to the top is adjustable, durable, and plenty accurate for most things but, the stop is made so you can’t line up the actual stop face with the rule. You have to use the body of the stop to set the length after adjusting the rule accordingly. Works fine but, took awhile to get comfortable with it. Maybe I missed something and don’t understand how to use those parts. No doubt, overall I enjoy using it and any happiness I can find at work adds up to a better day. I don’t regret laying out the money for it at all. I feel it was worth it.
