The head has a vernier scale and a screw-in brass detent pin that, while accurate, slows down adjustments. The large head is easy to read, but it can contact a 3/4-in. stacked dado blade when angled. The fence has a pre-made sacrificial fence, a micro-adjust flip-stop, and a standard flip-stop, but the attached ruler is sharp and creates a harsh pressure point on your hand during use.
