INCRA MITER1000SE Miter Gauge Special Edition With Telescoping Fence and Dual Flip Shop Stop

I planned on buying an aftermarket miter gauge when I bought a table saw, and a day after I ordered the saw, it went on sale so I requested and received a refund for a couple hundred bucks. Since I considered that money already spent, I decided to buy an even better miter gauge than originally planned. Best decision ever. I looked at specs and reviews, handled them in shops, and decided on this Incra 1000 SE, also on sale at the time. I really didn't think I needed or would ever utilize its capabilities, but boy was I wrong. Could I have gotten along just fine with a lesser capable one? Sure. You likely can too. But I guarantee that if you have it, you will make good use of it. Pros: well built and heavy duty. Seems well thought out, and provides adjustment capability in all planes, ensuring a high level of accuracy. Not stupidly overengineered, complicated or bulky, like some high end ones are. Easy to use; I only read the instructions once before initial use. The telescoping fence is rigid even at full extension, and the stop block has no slop, making repeated cuts spot on. Cons: it could benefit from a longer miter bar, as the deepest workpiece it'll accommodate in my saw (end of the miter bar just a few inches in the miter slot at the table's front) is about 16 or so inches. Once you pull it back far enough anyway that the fence comes off the front of the table, the fence wants to rotate sideways, creating a dangerous situation. I built an extension that slips on the front fence rail that supports the miter gauge's fence to prevent this. A spot to hold the ball-end tool on the fence back somehow would be a bonus, keeping everything you need self-contained. All in all, I'm very happy with it. This one looks to me like it's the best choice for quality, ease-of-use, and durability among the precision miter gauges, even better than other more expensive Incra models. To be sure, it's a fairly big investment, and probably not an easy decision. But if you don't already have specific jigs and a crosscut sled and could benefit from the accuracy and repeatability this provides, you could certainly do worse than taking the plunge on it.

Well thought and well made product. I haven't had a chance to use this much yet but I did make a few test cuts to verify assembly. Miter gauge was adjusted (square) right out of the box. The miter slot adjustment was a little tricky because I failed to read through the ENTIRE instructions prior to starting. There was an extra page in the instruction book that details the different configurations for the miter bar depending on the width of your slot, so be sure to read that and if you have a vernier caliper, use that to measure your slot before you start. This will save you some trial an error. Make certain your miter slot is clean and free of any rust on the sides. Initially, the Teflon expansion disks didn't want to expand when tightening down the screws, a little shot of WD-40 on each one made them work as they should. The aluminum fence is very sturdy and the flip stop feature is borderline genius. I didn't realize until I assembled this that it has a micro-adjustment feature that allows you to really dial in your setup. You can add a zero-clearance sub-fence to this as well and the flip stop can be moved to accommodate. To sum it up, this is a great addition to my table saw and is most likely to take the place of my miter saw for woodworking applications where I need accurate and repeatable cuts. Be sure to read through the ENTIRE instruction manual, check out some videos on YouTube and set aside ample time to assemble and set this up. It doesn't take long, but you don't want to be rushed.

I wish I would have bought this a long time before, it has been a great purchase. I have a Ryobi BT3000 table saw I bought over a decade ago for around the house. I really like the table saw (I use it for precision work like making cabinets, doors, and drawers, or just general cutting). The one problem is with the miter gauge. If I moved the saw or haven't used it in a while, I would have to check the calibration of the miter gauge to be sure it was set right, 90 degrees was exactly 90 degrees or 45 degrees was exactly 45 degrees, then every time I changed the angle I would have to test cut scraps of wood to be sure the angle was exactly right again. There is nothing worse than cutting wood for a cabinet door and if it supposed to be 90 degrees but comes out at 89 degrees, none of the parts will line up when you go to glue everything up and it just looks bad. For years I had thought about getting the accessory miter slot table (MITER SLOT TABLE BT3000 RYOBI - RIDGID 4060310) that is available through Ryobi but didn't know if it would be helpful. I finally found the Incra Miter1000SE and thought I would give it a try so I purchased it along with the Ryobi miter slot, I checked the calibration when I got it out of the box but it was already accurate. I wish I would have bought this a long time before, it just made me a lot faster because I don't have to fool with the calibration anymore, I just pick the angle, set it (I know it's right) and cut. From the time I move the saw to where I am going to work, plug it in, and cut is minutes not hours like it used to be after I checked calibration. If I need to change the angle, I change it, cut it, and go on because I know its right. I could change the angle 20 times in a day and I wouldn't have to worry about it because it is correct and will still be correct when I set it back to 90 degrees. I feel like I have a commercial production shop compared to the way it was before where I had to make all the cuts at one angle before I changed to another angle, then started having to check the cuts with scrap wood to be sure the miter was set right. There is also a telescoping fence with a stop that is great also, I had to set it to my table saw but when it is set, I am done and can make repetitive cuts all day and the next day with no problem, no recalibration in between. This will also make me a lot faster too. What was going to take me possibly a year on the side in my free time (building walnut cabinets and replacing the existing cabinets throughout my house) may only take me part of the summer now. This is from planing the wood, ripping and cutting it to size, joining wood together for wide pieces, routing the rails and stiles and raised panels, sanding and sealing the wood, installing the hinges and drawer slides and handles. The tables saw portion will now be quick. This has been a very worthwhile and accurate investment. Not only from an accuracy perspective, but also a time saver, and frustration reliever. I will always remember Incra from now on. I will have to check and see what Incra has for routers and router tables now.

Good quality. Accurate. I still prefer a table saw sled tho’…

Die Beschreibung war nur auf Englisch.Ich möchte sie aber gerne auf Deutsch

I have used this mitre gauge to build a barn wood whine rack, the pattern is pretty precise and has repetitive cuts. My project turned out perfect, every cut and angle were on the mark.

Produto de boa qualidade. Ainda não testei. É funcional e bem manufaturado.

Gran herramienta para cortes precisos con diferentes ángulos. Excelente calidad en los materiales utilizados. La extensión funciona perfecto para mantener las piezas alineadas y cuadradas.
