I bought this for my Kreg precision router table, and I just love it! It took 1 minute to install and 30 seconds to learn, and it works great together with Kreg's router table fence. No more tapping and overshooting the mark, just unlock the fence, turn the screw and lock the fence again. It will engage/disengage with a turn of the lock screw, and slides easily in the rail so it's not in the way when sliding the fence back for bit changes either.
There are some comments about this device not working properly with a Kreg band saw fence, but if this is of the same design as the router fence, there must be a problem with the installation or the way it's used. I don't understand the comment about adjusting the fence with tension on it, there is no need to have tension on the fence like when tapping it the old-school way (actually, tapping this type of fence while it's locked will eventually damage it or at least knock the alignment out of whack), and mine works just fine with the fence completely unlocked. The beauty of the Kreg fence is that it will always stay parallell with the rail once it's locked down, so the adjustment can be done without any tension on the fence. Just loosen the lockdowns completely, turn the screw, lock the fence again and it will be perfectly aligned. You may want to turn the screw slightly before unlocking the fence in order to compensate for the take-up in the screw, but that's it.
Taking it off when you remove the fence is really no big deal either, just turn the screw out all the way and slide it out. It may be annoying in the long run for those who remove and reinstall the fence several times a day, but it's a non-issue on a router table where the fence stays on pretty much all the time.

Not surprisingly, Kreg has continued their terrific product line. Adjustments are easy and near perfect. Sometimes the brass knurls are a bit difficult to turn, but when started, goes smoothly. Goes perfectly with their router tables.

I purchased the micro adjuster to go with the kreg band saw fence. I had a hard time setting up the micro adjuster, in fact I never got it to work correctly. It hindered the smooth back and forth movement of the fence and actually made the set up more difficult. I finaly gave up and returned the product. The fence on the other hand works great-very high quality and accuracy.

I added the Kreg Micro Adjuster to my Kreg router table to allow very minor adjustments to my router fence position. It does a supperb job if you need very fine positioning of the fence.

I bought the Kreg band saw fence and the micro-adjuster about three months ago. At first, I couldn't get the adjuster to work at all--the wheel you're supposed to turn was difficult to grip and the amount of force required to turn it was excessive. So I just put the thing on a shelf and decided that the only good thing about it was that it didn't cost very much.
Then I was reading Mark Duginske's band saw book and saw a picture of a micro-adjuster on an Inca band saw. Duginske says they're wonderful devices and he doesn't understand why American manufacturers don't sell them (his book was written in 1989). The Inca device looks very much like the Kreg, so I thought I would have another go at making it work.
The problem was that I had the saddle mounted too high (it rides on 4 nylon screws) and the brass screw of the adjuster was binding in the hole of the saddle. Forcing the brass screw into the threaded hole cocked the saddle at a slight angle and prevented it from sliding smoothly.
Five minutes of fiddling with the nylon screws solved the problem. When I ran the screw into the threaded hole, it was obvious that the alignment was good. I tightened the adjuster to the rail and found I could move the fence easily, with gentle thumb pressure on the adjuster wheel.
I installed a dial indicator and found that one revolution of the wheel moves the fence by .050" (the screw looks like a 1/4-20). I found that I could easily move the fence left and right by as little as .001". There is backlash when you reverse direction, as you would expect.
I find that I use it fairly often. At first, I thought the thing would be useful only for cutting really thin veneer. But in fact, it is quite useful when you're trying to align the blade with a pencil mark on the workpiece, the workpiece is too big to sit by itself on the saw table, and you have only one hand free. Moving the fence "just a skosh" is easier when you can just rotate a thumbwheel rather than tapping the fence, overshooting, tapping the other way, etc. etc.
So I recommend this little gadget. But you have to install it properly.
