This is just what I need. Nothing else really supports material for an accurately square cut. Recently I was cutting a long piece of lignum vitae which is slow cutting. No matter what I did I didn't seem to be able to hold or clamp the wood well enough to get a truly square cut. I have put extensions on my old miter gauge but they always get messed up or warp over time. I get tired of adding a new extension every time I have a difficult cut to make. This does the trick - it supports more of the length of the board and if I don't need the full length if compresses. This is just the thing I needed.

I am a hobbyist with more enthusiasm than skill. The INCRA Miter 1000/HD has already shown dividends. Like all tools, you need to make sure it's set up properly relative to your specific table saw. There are still many things I have to learn about this tool. For me the best aspect of this has been the way you can lock in your settings. There is zero wobble once dialed in so making consistent repeated cuts are easy.
I take one star off because you need to use an included hex key to tighten down several bits. If they provided a way to keep the driver on the tool I'd give it a pass.

I have several Incra tools and they are the absolute best. After a few minutes of adjustment to make it fit snugly and square to my table saw it is dead true first time every time. I can't imagine having to work without it. Someone who works designed and built this tool, I am a fabricator and I don't see anything I would change.

We make tenons on the tablesaw. It has always been a struggle to get square shoulders on the tenon. With the Incra miter this is a repeatable operation made easy with the indent system. The key to accuracy is the initial setup. The directions are clear. As with any new tool there is a learning curve to master but with this tool it is not difficult. Framing squares and machinist's squares will get the initial adjustments very close. But one of the best methods to determine squareness is by cutting the shoulders of a tenon in succession. As the last cut is made, there should be no visible misalignment in the wood. If there are, minute adjustments for square will solve any issues. The beauty of this tool is, barring rough treatment (think dropping or hitting it) this is only a periodic event.

One word of caution is crucial. Make certain that square material is used for any testing.

The sliding stop is well made and reflective of Incra's quality.

I have not taken the time to understand the ruler applique. Several reviewers mentioned they wished they had cut it longer. Until i have a need, it will remain in the box.

Incra has provided a very good system to reduce side-to-side motion between the miter bar and the miter track in the tablesaw. If you are finicky try to adjust the individual adjustment screws the same amount to reduce skewing of the tool in the miter track.

BTW, for use with small panel cutting operations, I added a short platform on the tablesaw fence support. This allows the miter to slide off the cast iron table and eliminates twisting or trying to hold the free end of the miter up until the cutting advances enough to provide support. We are using an Incra Tablesaw Fence which allows this support to be mounted quickly.

The vernier system to allow 1/10 degree adjustment requires some getting used to. It functions the same way a transit does, but reading and setting it are different. It is very good for fine adjjustments

Potential product improvements include: Allen head screwdriver storage on the end of the main miter arm. The screwdriver fits one of the aluminum extrusion's slots/cavaties There is not enough friction to hold the screwdriver and allen wrench securely. Mount the vernier tables on the tool. The photos in the manual are good, but better if the tool is totally self-contained

This is best miter tool I have ever seen. Well designed and sturdy. You won't regret the purchase. Glenn

When I first installed it on a new Makita 2705 table saw I thought I was going to have to return it. The Makita miter gauge has an obscene amount of slop in it and this guide had even more slop than the Makita guide. Adjusting the 3 spacers on the left side of the gauge per the instructions did not remove all the slop. I called the company and they advised me to remove all 3 black spacers on the right side of the guide (which really do nothing) and replace them with three white spacers (white spacers have a slit cut in them that allows them to expand as you tighten the screw). That did the trick. Calibrated the gauge with the blade and everything works perfectly.
