Find the height of the miter saw’s deck. This is a critical measurement because the height of the infeed and outfeed tables must be equal to the depth of saw deck to ensure seamless support. For accuracy, use a marking gauge instead of a tape measure to measure from the top of the saw deck down to a flat surface. A small combination square will maintain the precise measurement until you change it.
