I went with the Chinese knock off. W-new from banggood. For my 10” Grizzly 3hp cabinet saw. The W-new is very nice and comes with a box-joint jig built into the fence. I built keepsake boxes for everybody in the family. I used eucalyptus wood. Lots of red/blond graining. And it smells good. I think the Incra 1000 is the best choice of miter gauge. But W-new was cheaper and it’s really high quality. I guess they’re really big in Europe where woodworking is more popular. I’m a hobbyist woodworker. But I have to watch the cost. I’ve been in a WoodCraft store once. Didn’t buy anything. I’m kinda cheap. Just an alternative.
Instead of trying to square the fence with the blade, the better, easier, and more accurate procedure is to square the fence with the miter bar. Think about using the miter gauge on a router table - there's no blade to square against anyway. Any, of course, checking with the 5-cut method for ultimate accuracy.
Yeah, do it however works best for you. I find with my square it is easier to use with physical contact as I don't need to rely on feel to align with the miter slot. I have my blade and slot aligned with my dial indicator, so it makes no difference to me. As always, test cuts are really your best way to know.
Not with the slot - with the bar. It’s easy to put the square’s handle on the bar and the square's blade along the fence. Don't have to even be near the tablesaw.

Many thanks.
