 Very nice fence and great instructions April 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this one for about a year now and really like it. It was easy to setup tight on the miter slot and parallel to the blade. It is indexed in 5 degree intervals but you could still set it at any angle by setting the angle and tightening the handle. Of course you will need to measure the exact angle you want since, compared to the more expensive models, the markings are set at 5 degree intervals.
Precision fence with simplicity! September 9, 2007

This fence is a work of elegance! It is so precise, yet does not require a math degree to figure it out. This works equally well on my table saw and my band saw. The adjustable stop makes repetitive cuts easier, and allows for precise placement of the wood being cut. There is nothing to lose or misplace, like other preciaion fences, so you can easily hang on a wall peg when not in use. I am very happy with it!
Excellent miter gauge March 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This gauge is absolutely superior...the material and craftsmanship are top shelf, it was easy to install and calibrate, and it's easy to use. My only adverse comment is that I thought it would have been nice to have a clamp, so that work could be clamped to the gauge for angle cuts. Highly recommended.
Terrific Miter Gauge October 31, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When properly set up, this gauge is very accurate. The expanding plastic sliders prevent any trace of side play from being evident between the bar and your table saw miter slot. The vernier scale is excellent. The detents are dead-on.
Packaging and instructions are excellent. It took about 30 miunutes to carefully assemble and set it up.
I am 100% satisfied.
 Incra is an expensive dissappointment January 6, 2006
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought the Incra 1000 Miter gauge a couple of years ago and it has been nothing but trouble ever since. I have to say though that I was too lazy to call for a replacement and when I did just the other day, Incra offered to replace it for free even though it was way out of warranty.
The first thing that happened was that all that gadetry at the end of the miter guage (used to set half degrees and lock the setting in) simply did not work. For one thing, at 90 degrees, the little metal pointer didn't go into its slot. There was simply no way to do it because the gauge is inaccurate by almost half a degree. But by adjusting it manually using the usual triangle method before each cut I was able to get it square. Of course thats how I had to use the stock gauge so I was no better off with the Incra. Unfortunately I did not notice that the slot adjustment screw that Incra stupidly put halfway under the track was proud by a fraction of inch. This prevented the wood from coming up flush against the track and it would then be cut at an angle that was just slightly out of perfect square. The difference was so small that I didn't notice it and spent hours trying to figure out why my parts didn't assemble correctly. There is no way to fix this except to remove the screw but that leaves the miter bar sloppy in the slot.
The workmanship on this was terrible and the design flawed. I simply do not understand the good reviews. All I can figure is that Incra has no quality control and you could get a good one or a bad one. In their defense, they will replace it with smiles. But who needs that agravation?? When you buy a tool you expect it to work.
