Two years ago, I did a massive comparative review of ten different miter gauges. You can watch that here:    • Miter Gauges  Two You Should Avoid!  

Recently, Harvey released the MG36 Pro Miter Gauge and many of you asked me to provide an update. So here's my Harvey MG36 Pro review.

Head to my website if you'd like to read a full written summary. https://thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/h...

CORRECTION: A few folks noted that the flip stop can be adjusted to bring it closer to the stock fence. By loosening two screws you can reposition the stop at various angles in order to bring the tip of the arm in contact with the table surface. That's a big improvement over the previous model.

Conclusion:
I'm happy to say that the Harvey MG36 Pro is a serviceable miter gauge. It's not perfect and depending on the kind of work you do the sloppy stop issue might be a dealbreaker. The sloppiness in the detents is still a big disappointment. However, with the caveats discussed in the video you can achieve decent results. Overall, Harvey addressed pretty much every issue I found in my previous review. They either improved them greatly or fixed them. That said, if you're in the market for a miter gauge I think the Jessem MiteRExcel II is still your best bet for the money. Even if you're able to get the MG36 Pro at $299 (the lowest price I've seen), the Jessem can be had for only $25 more. And the Jessem doesn't suffer from any of the issues found in the MG36 lineup.
