Deluxe A-Line-It Alignment System

Aligning your workshop machinery can be very frustrating. Sometimes a tape measure, ruler and a firm fist bump just won’t cut it. If you desire to have your machinery working at optimal levels then look no further than the A-LINE-IT DELUXE Machinery and Tool Alignment System. Get the precision you want out of your machinery without having to break the bank. After all, much like a car, your machinery is an investment that needs to be tuned up and maintained.

The A-Line-It Basic can be configured to do various tests in your shop

Some of the things you will be testing include:

• Table Saw Alignment
• Saw Arbor Run out
• Saw Blade Run out
• Rip Fence Alignment
• Rip Fence Straightness

• Jointer Depth of Cut
• Planer Alignment
• Drill Press Squaring
• Arbor Flange
• Drill Press Chuck Run out

Everything You Need

One of the reasons you’ll appreciateis that with the A-LINE-IT DELUXE, you get everything you’ll need to thoroughly check your machines in one package. The spring and nut assembly, as an example, makes the A-LINE-IT DELUXE the only tool in the US that will allow you to determine whether the run-out in the saw blade is caused by the blade, the arbor, or a combination of both.

Self-Adjusting “Smart Bar”

Another thing you will appreciate about this system is the self-adjusting “Smart Bar” that will stay tight in a miter slot that isn’t the same size along it’s slot length. You only need to adjust the spring plungers once, and after that, its a perfect fit in the miter slot. This makes the measuring process much more efficient since you don’t need to keep shimming or adjusting the miter bar for a snug fit.

The A-LINE-IT DELUXE includes the following: Dial Indicator in .001” increments, 22 assorted and interchangeable dial indicator tips, 11” long bar with 12 adjustment holes, smart miter bar with spring loaded adjustable plungers, threaded 1/2” diameter steel drill press chuck pin, the exclusive arbor nut run-out kit, planer bar (for checking run-out on planers with knife style cutter heads) and detailed instructions.

A-Line-It Arbor Spring and Nut Kit

The Arbor Spring and Nut Kit can be added as an accessory to the Standard A-Line-It or A-Line-it Smart Bar in order to test for arbor and saw blade run-out.

The purpose of the Arbor Spring Nut Kit is to hold the saw blade securely against the arbor flange, but allow you to independently rotate either the saw blade blade or arbor in order to perform the Arbor Flange Run-Out and Saw Blade Run-Out Test

To check arbor run-out: Rotate the arbor, but not the blade, the deflection of the pointer on the indicator shows the run-out (near the teeth) that is caused by the run-out in the arbor flange.

To check saw blade run-out: Rotate the blade, but not the arbor, the deflection of the pointer on the indicator shows the run-out of the blade.

It is recommended that you use the miter groove on your saw that is opposite the saw blade nut, in order to have room to get your hand near the arbor without interfering with the dial indicator.
