A self-aligning and self-adjusting miter gauge assembly is disclosed. The miter gauge assembly includes an elongated miter gauge rod and a longitudinally spaced pair of spring ball elements which extend laterally from the elongated miter gauge rod for self-aligning and self-adjustable engagement relative to adjacent surfaces of a complementary miter gauge slot in order to take up dimensional clearances between the miter gauge rod and miter gauge slot for accurate miter gauge positioning. Each spring ball element is adjustable to increase or decrease the spring pressure, as desired. The spring ball element may include a spring ball plunger that threadably engages an internally threaded laterally passageway in the miter gauge rod or a set screw that engages one end of a coil spring having a ball bearing attached to an opposite end, while threadably engaging the internally threaded passageway, for adjusting the spring pressure.
