I have a Black & Decker table saw, model FS210LS. I need a replacement for the miter gauge. And here I run into problem.

Miter gauges for sale on the net are for standard size 3/4" x 3/8". I am not sure my table saw's guiding slot is of that size. The depth of the slot is not quite 3/8 and the slot width is not quite 3/4".

B&D web site has no contact email to ask. The manual does not specify the miter gauge dimension. Thus I am hesitant to buy just any miter gauge for fear it won't fit.

Then I found a website eReplacementParts.com which have replacement for B&D miter gauge.

The link below shows diagram of the table saw parts:
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-fs210ls-type-table-saw-parts-c-4167_4241_4242.html?keywords_category=FS210LS

It shows the miter gauge (part #25) as "miter gauge assembly". I am not quite sure "miter gauge" and "miter gauge assembly" are the same or not, but it looks like it, so I ordered it. Then they send me something entirely different (a thick metal ring). It could be their mistake or my bad for ordering the so-called "miter gauge assembly". I'm dealing with eReplacementParts.com right now.

Meanwhile, I turn to the pro and the know-hows on this forum to help: how do I best find a replacement for my miter gauge?

Thank you.
Nathan

The part number for the miter gauge is 490893-00. It costs $15.16. This is for the Type 1 model of the FS210LS . I don't know if the Type 2 has a different P/N.
You can find a parts list for your saw here

Thank you gentleman for your tips.

Apparently eReplacementParts.com send me the wrong item. Hopefully I will get the correct miter gauge this time.
