Delta - Deluxe Protractor-Style Gauges
Delta no longer offers a miter gauge accessory.
Oct 25, 2005
The Delta Deluxe is an accessory miter gauge that offers good value for the money. It’s a traditional design with the head mounted on a steel bar by means of a 4-in.-tall clamping handle. The cast and machined protractor head on the model I looked at was straight and square to the table.
The Delta Deluxe uses a spring-loaded pin for positive stops, which work well and are adjustable. There is an optional cam-action clamp attachment, but no auxiliary fence or stop available.

These clamps can handle glue-ups between 10 in. and 36 in. wide, and boards up to 3 in. thick. Sliding feet attach to the lower bars with magnets, letting you position them quickly for stability on any surface. The spring-loaded jaws adjust easily, dropping into notches along the bars. And the powerful clamp handles clear the benchtop.
