A Little Wobble Trick-

One more thought on the subject- I've used my Craftsman wobbler for years (infrequently), and one thing that helps is to figure out which tooth comes the closest to the fence, and mark the side of it with a permanent marker. (Green for 'starboard'?) I marked the outermost tooth, also. It's always the same tooth, so this makes it easy to measure from the fence. Always takes a little tweaking to get the width right. For the table insert, I just cut one out of wood. After buying some incredibly cheap sandpaper from Harbor Freight, I'm pretty careful about what I buy there. I didn't know sandpaper could BE that bad! Enjoy, and watch those fingers! Steve

Another option is a router w/ a straight bit.
