The Hedgehog is loose in the miter slot. What can I do?

Align tabs

First, make sure the tabs on the conical screw head are seated in the slots in the miter clamp.

Tighten the knob

Next, with the Hedgehog out of the miter slot of your saw, tighten the knob A LOT which will loosen things up and flare out the miter clamp. Try that and see if it works better in the miter clamp.

Flare miter clamp

If that didn’t do the trick, please try this: disassemble the Hedgehog, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the slot in the miter clamp, and give it a little twist to flare out the miter clamp. It doesn’t take much so you might want to go small and sneak up on it. Re-assemble and see if that helps.

What are the dimensions of the miter clamp? Will it fit my miter slot?

3/4-inch wide x 3/8-inch high

The miter clamp is cast aluminum and CNC milled for tight tolerances and a precision fit. It is designed to fit 3/4-inch wide miter slots. If you have a 5/8-inch or metric miter slot, the Hedgehog miter clamp will not fit. However, we do sell a bundled package that includes a Hedgehog and a 5/8-inch miter clamp.

I hate clamshell packaging! How do I get the Hedgehog out of this thing?!

Simply cut along the bottom-right edge and the right edge with a normal pair of scissors. The Hedgehog slips right out.

How do you ship?

All orders for the Hedgehog are shipped via USPS:

If you order a single Hedgehog, you have the option of First Class Mail (the most economical) or Priority Mail (2-3 days to most cities). If you order two or more Hedgehogs, the total weight is greater than 16 oz. so your only option is Priority Mail.
