Incra - Miter 1000SE with Telescoping Fence (Rating: 3)

Just bought another table saw so what better excuse to buy another miter fence. I purchased the Incra® Miter 1000SE with Telescoping Fence from Rockler on sale for $150 with free shipping. I'm happy so far and can't wait to get my hands on it. Step one, adjust the miter bar to the slot in the table by expanding the nylon washers in the bar. Easy peasy right? Not so much. Using the supplied hex wrench I couldn't get any of the three washers to expand using enough force that any more would have stripped the screw. (I think most if not all of us know exactly how much force this is) This caught me totally by surprise; in all the reviews read and videos watched, this was never mentioned as an issue. After examining the screws and washers for any defects and not finding any, my only conclusion was the friction between the screw and nylon washer was the problem. A couple of shots of silicon lubricant solved the problem. Step two, square the fence to the blade. I have read reviews where some folks have gotten dead on results right out of the box, not me. No biggie, I expected this. The screws were extremely tight and got a bit buggered by the time they came loose. After removing and replacing the screws with better quality ones the fence is now tight and square to the blade. Of course the fence was not square to the table either, the adjustment nuts were not even touching the bracket. This however only took about 90 seconds to rectify. Good to go right? The last step is checking the accuracy of the 1/10 degree vernier cursor to the main scale. Of course the zero marks do not line up and the only adjustment is in the main scale by loosening the 5 screws and realigning it to the vernier cursor. Can I do this, yes, am I happy that I have to, no.
In conclusion, it's rare to buy anything with moving parts that is good to go right out of the box. This however is not even close to what I expected from Incra. I could go on but I'm as tired of writing this as you are of reading it so enough said.
