KREGKMS7215 Micro-Adjuster for use with Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence

I mounted the Kreg fence on an older Grizzly 14" bandsaw. It worked out so good this old man was having trouble setting the fence where I needed it it moved so smoothly. So I thought this might help and it did. I can move the fence close by hand and make the small adjustments with the micro adjuster. Worked great for building a 4" long cedar bench for a doll house. Some pieces had to be cut to 1.6 mm x 3mm to fit slot in back rest frame. Works very smooth and easy to adjust if the fence is aligned correctly. And the table is waxed regularity.

I purchased the micro adjuster for my Kreg band saw fence. The first issue I encountered was great difficulty in turning the micro adjustment knob. I proceeded to "chase" the threads, use good lubricant, and also adjust the fence rail just ahead of the adjuster. I was able to get it to work with moderate comfort in one direction (shortening the cut width). I could not figure why the locking knob on the micro adjuster contributed to binding and difficulty in using the adjuster. One needs to use light pressure in tightening the locking knob on the adjuster. I did note the micro-adjuster can be utilized on my cross cut saws (table saw sled and miter saw).... It slips into any T track, so adding a threaded "stop" seems like a good idea. Anyway, the idea of this device is excellent--- but needs some improvement. I'd give the idea a 5 star, but the application is a problem. Price and quality are good. Great for those who like tool accessories.EDIT..... Make it 5 stars now..... Problem of difficulty turning adjust knob is due to "binding" between the adjuster and the fence. Fence and adjuster must be in perfect alignment for smooth action (not really likely). The adjust knob binding solved with a 10 in threaded rod 1/4 x 20. Rod is connected to the fence and to the micro adjuster (using a flex coupling at rod-adjuster joint helps). Now works very easy in both directions, no binding. May restrict fence-- requiring shorter threaded rod.

It works but the adjustment knob could’ve been engineered to move smoother. I installed it, made a test cut, tried to fine tune, got frustrated, and ended up doing manually. Maybe I need to get more used to it.

Very easy to install and use. I am very impressed with the quality and accuracy of this tool. Band saws can be very hard to dial in and almost impossible to micro adjust. This little gem makes it easy and saves me time!

The user moves the Kreg saw fence into position plus/minus a known distance from the, in my case, band saw blade. That action completed, this device is then used for a final distance movement. I have one issue with it. The sleeve in which the device is threaded into in the fence head, moved inside the head. It should have been better fixed in place within the fence head. However, this was probably my own fault as the head may have been locked in place thus causing the sleeve to move within the fence head. I will probably use Blue Lock Tite to insure it will no longer move within the fence head. All the above said, the device does make final fence distance positioning more accurate and easier to accomplish.

While the Micro Adjuster isn't designed to work with the Precision Trak Crosscut Sled, I was able to add it with a little creativity. I bought a 1/4-20 weld nut (a T shaped nut with a large flange), screwed it onto the micro adjuster and then slid it along the rail to press against the Sled's stop. Then I added a drop of glue and glued the nut to the stop since it was properly positioned. Once I'd done that, I unscrewed the micro adjuster and used epoxy to strengthen the attachment of the nut to the stop. It now works perfectly.

Not too bad. Thumb wheel a little small but it works. Attached to my kreg router table fence. It has enough stroke that I can extend it all the way get the fence flust to the outer cutter edge then retract it a few turns each pass until it lines up with the bearing on the cutter when making moldings and other parts I need to align and cut in multiple passes.Do I need it? No, but it’s not expensive and does help so I like it.

easy to use

Great for cutting veneers

I purchased the Kreg router table top, fence and micro adjuster together to go on a home built base. I've used them for about 3 months now and am really happy with my purchase. The router insert is easily levelled in the table top, the mitre track works great with my shop made coping sled, and the 1/4" guide in the track makes feather board adjustments easy. There are a few plastic parts in the fence assembly, but I had no problems with stripping anything in the kit. The fence is solid and stays square to the table once adjusted as long as you aren't too ham fisted with it. I find that having the fence work like a saw fence is a real asset. I'm not constantly adjusting two sides of the fence every time I want to switch things around. The two plastic rods that you insert for the out feed side of the fence work well for jointing stock. There is also a 1/4" track on the fence to hold feather boards or stops. The micro adjuster is a worthwhile purchase (in my opinion anyway) as it makes it really easy to line the fence with bit bearings using a straight edge, or super fine adjustments for depth of cut. It does seem to keep the fence a little more square when it's pulling the fence back rather than pushing it forward. All together, it is a great addition to my shop.

The fine adjustment actually works although you need to lubricate the knurl wheel contact surface with the frame well otherwise it's hard to turn. I used the lubricant contains ceramic or PTFE which you can easily find in bicycle applications.For a better design, I would see two thrust bearings fitted on both side of the knurl wheel so the fiction with the frame body will be minimised.

Great addition to the workshop and fine tuning the various jigs you can make and, no doubt, already have planned.

this item may work great if track is above table, but my track is recessed into table there is not enough clearance to rotate wheel, I assume this item should only be used with Kreg tools. Had to return item.
