DIKEM and a scribe. With this and my eyes I can get to within .002 on a Dewalt Mitre saw with a wood blade. (and that was at 2 in the morning!)
Also, that reminds me I like that saw too with the carbide tipped blade. It will zip right through anything except steel but we have a cutoff blade for that.
Also really handy sometimes is my butane pencil torch. Built in igniter, and a fine tip flame up to 2000 degrees F. Not bad.
One really annoying tool is the propane torch without a built in igniter. It is kind of old so it doesn't burn so clean anymore. Our barbeque lighter was out of gas so that option to light it was out. We turned to the good 'ol bench grinder (another great tool) and a piece of steel angle to try to light the darned thing. We turned the gas all the way up and made a shower of sparks bigger than you could imagine but the thing still wouldn't light. Time for a new torch I guess.
TOOLS TOOOLS TOOOOOOLS!!!!!
