How to use the Vernier scale on a miter saw

The little scale on most modern more saws is called a vernier scale, and it's one of it’s most useful, but never really talked about features. With the vernier scale, you can position your blade in 1/4-degree increments to either side of any whole degree, allowing for some pretty accurate cuts!

Thanks Jody! Your videos are always straight to the point and very informative. I often look forward to your videos more than others.

[@LittleShadowWoodcraft]

Simply brilliant! I never knew and now I know. Thanks as always for these little tips.

[@Ben_Fogle]

Enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@davidyeo4302]

That's great!!!
Always learning from your videos. Thank you for all the information!

[@andrewbrown8148]

This is a great one~! I've never paid attention, so I'm going out to see if my Dewalt has this. Thanks much~!

[@toolchuck]

Just when you think you know it all, Jody comes along and proves you wrong, lol.
You’re the best, keep them coming.

[@daifeichu]

Thank you for explaining that. My after market miter gauge has a vernier scale and I did not know how to use it...until now.

[@dorjedriftwood2731]

Thank you so much

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks for the tip, dude! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@makermark67]

Just, damn. Thanks, Jodee

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

Interesting thanks

[@tompoole7480]

Cool. Thanks

[@berniebuchholz6450]

Mind blown!

[@ST-0311]

That's pretty cool. My Metabo doesn't have a verneir scale, but if I get a saw with one in the future I'll know how to use it.

[@dpmeyer4867]

thanks

[@gsilcoful]

Cool!

[@Danko88]

I have two delwalt 2022 Miter saws, both have nothing like this. Did you add that little plastic scale ?

[@vince55sanders]

your little yellow protractor has it too

My miter saw varies plus or minus 1.5 degrees, without moving.

[@hansangb]

I'm embarrassed to say that I thought it was just a magnification lens. I've had the same DeWalt miter saw for about 3 years now. LOL

[@adamdejesus4017]

Another way to demonstrate this: most saws have a hard stop at 22.5deg, so if you engage that 22.5deg stop, the "1/2" on the vernier will land 2deg beyond 22deg...on the 24deg mark.

[@cfbarnett]

My Makita 12-in does not have anything like that. Sadly.

[@DennisinMA]

It’s like using an old school slide rule.

[@alfredneumann4692]

It's called a 'nonius'.

[@JonnyTsunami1]

Quick tip. Quick comment.

[@GrantOakes]

Love your short, easy to implement and useful video tips! Please, keep them coming!
