Steve...there’s a review tab at the top of the screen below the LJ logo. You posted in the forums….not a big deal to me, but you asked. Glad to read you like your Incra. I just got an Osbourne miter gage and I can say the same as you….perfect! $109 plus free shipping for mine….Maybe you can do a re-do in the review section. That might help others looking for miter gages

-- Measure "at least" twice and cut once

I too have this miter gauge. I purchased it from Rockler where it rather regularly goes on sale for $129 or so I believe. If you’re looking for one and the amazon price isn’t that low currently just hold out until the next Rockler sale. It’s a great product although right now I favor my crosscut sled to a miter gauge for most cuts.

good looking out…
I too like my crosscut sled, but I find it cumbersome to get, raise blade, and measure…etc.
I use the Incra for most of my med/smaller stuff.
It’s really two different uses, I use them both, but my sled has been hanging there since the last 9” wide board

Also, I have a sacrificial fence for my Incra, gives me splinter-free miters for delicate stuff

An older Incra 1000 came with a table saw I bought. It doesnt telescope as long as the one you have, but for a hobbyist like myself its a little slice of heaven. I didnt know what a gem it was when I first got it until I got my shop fox saw and started to use the miter gauge that came with it. Needless to say, when I sold my other table saw, the shop fox gauge went with it.

I have the Incra SE. It took a while to get it dialed in, but when I did, it is on track every time. At first, I was trying to align the fence to the blade. I knew better, it just took me a while to remember. Lined it up with the miter slot and we were good to go.

yup…start with the saw. Get the saw blade EXACT to the Miter slot…then true everything from the slot. Nice.

i,ll second the motion…..i have one too…....

Steve: You are right on the mark. Like everything else Incra makes, it will add the accuracy and repeatability to your work that will elevate it to a higher level. Love all of my Incra AND Woodpeckers stuff.

I agree. Now, set it in the Miter Express sled. It’s a very nice combo.

I also love my Incra, it does not have the telescoping feature, but a few shop add ons gave me that functionality. My main question is about your splitters. Are those aftermarket? If so, where did you get them, and what do you think about them?

Thanks…the splitters come from http://www.microjig.com/
But I got it at Amazon, make sure to get the correct Kerf for your blade size.

and it will explain everything.
They work well, just follow directions to a tee, thanks again.

I had an Incra Miter 5000 sled a few years ago and just ordered a new one this week, I found it to be excellent.

I’d love to get the 5000 sled…that’ll be my next gift to myself, yuperz

I have this and love it. All Incra tools I have purchased have been great! Nice review. Rockler with 20% off is what I used.

I have the same one, and can’t say enough good about it.
Fantastic tool…

Thanks for the splitter info!

No problem…anytime I can help.

Looks good, but it still runs in a miter slot and hence can’t be as smooth as a good sliding table setup (which, granted, is a lot more money !).

Just a heads up that I got the Rockler mailer today and the Incra 1000HD will be on sale for $119 for those that are interested in purchasing one.

My Incra Miter5000 arrived today!

Good review thanks for sharing.

I have the 3000se, and it has turned my table saw into a precise crosscut machine.

I do wish the Stop retaining mechanism was better designed (the plastic twist nobs); however, this is picking at nits.

I agree (the white plastic knobs), but it is minimal like you said. I love the accuracy…I trust it fully (after the first month of checking EVERYtime with my tape, ha) I can depend on the rule totally, it’s amazing.
