Can they be recalibrated for square? | | A:
Yes. Loosen the three vertical bolts at the fence mounting bracket and the fence
can then "float" through a 1 degree range while the miter gauge is locked
is locked at 0 degrees. If a miter gauge is dropped and parts get tweaked, the
miter gauge can often be recalibrated and work perfectly until the affected parts
are replaced. | | | | | Is
it possible to adjust the angle between the fence and the table saw? | | A:
Yes. It's not necessary to have the fence square to the table top when cutting
with the lumber flat on the table, but this angle can be adjusted for situations
where the lumber must be held upright against the fence. Paper or tape shims are
added between the fence mounting bracket and gauge body in the appropriate locations
and then trimmed so they don't show. The instructions are in the owner's manuals
and it takes about ten minutes. | | | | | What
size miter slots do the INCRA Miter Gauges fit? | | | A:
All of our products fit miter slots 3/4" wide, 3/8" deep, and with or
without a 15/16" T-slot at the bottom. Our miter bars are slightly undersize
from a true 3/4" to fit the undersize (.740") slots of Craftsman contractor's
saws. Sorry, we don't manufacture equipment for the 5/8" slot sometimes found
on smaller table saws. | | | | | What's
the difference between the Miter Express and Miter 5000? | | A:
They both have 24" panel capacity, full zero clearance, and greater safety
& control when cutting small parts.
The Express is more compact, less
expensive, and is sold without a miter gauge or fence. The quick release allows
it to accept any brand of miter gauge and allows the use of the miter on different
shop machinery.
The Miter5000 has larger panels to better support plywood,
the mechanics of the Miter3000 are built in, and it has INCRA's longest extending
fence (36-64").
When comparing the Miter5000 to the Miter Express
/ Miter1000SE Combo, the Express combo is more versatile because of the quick-release
for the miter gauge, and the combo can be more easily upgraded later with a longer
fence, larger panels, etc. | | | | | What's
the difference between the 1000SE and 3000SE? | | | A:
The 1000SE has a more compact fence 18-31"), has 41 positive stops at the
most common angles, and the vernier scale reads all the way to tenths of a degree.
The
3000SE has a longer fence (27-49") and miter bar. It also has 364 positive
stops 1/2 degree apart, but it lacks a vernier scale. | | | | | Do
you have anything to fit a Shopsmith? | | | A:
We have the Miter V120 (SMITERV120)
and the Miter 2000 (SMITER/18)
gauges available for Shopsmith. The Miter
Express (SMITEREXPRESS) and Miter
5000 (SMITER5000) are also available for those machines. | | | | | How
do you set the scale on the fence? | | | A:
Set the stop to slightly overhang the end of the fence, set the scale to read
"zero" at the edge of the stop, and then slide the fence toward the
blade until the stop just kisses the blade. Tighten the fence in this position. | | | | | What
are the benefits of using a sled vs. a miter gauge? | | | A:
Sleds offer roughly double the capacity of the best miter gauges (even INCRA's!)
and can cut common cabinet parts, sleds offer better safety and control for small
parts with the use of hold downs and because they "carry" the lumber
through the blade, and sleds offer a cleaner cut because of the zero-clearance
on both sides of the blade (especially important cross cutting veneered plywood). | | | | | I
have an INCRA miter gauge already. Can I upgrade the fence? | | | A:
Yes. Every miter fence fits every INCRA gauge body. | | | | | Can
I buy a Flip Shop Stop? | | | A:
Yes, BUT it will only work on fences that are designed to accept it. The fences
on the
Miter1000/18T or Miter2000 MUST be replaced with a Flip Fence SE to
accept the Flip Shop Stop. | | | | | Can
I buy a Flip Stop for my router fence? | | | A:
Sorry, the Flip Shop Stop is only compatible with the miter gauge Flip Fence SE. |
