You’re probably familiar with the Incra name because of their fantastic dovetail and box-joint-making jigs, but they’ve got a wide product line all with precision at the top of the list.

An ingenious flip-stop locks down at any point along the fence for repeatable cuts, and it flips out of the way without disturbing your placement if you have other cuts to make as well. The fence actually telescopes out, from a closed length of 18 inches to a fully extended 30 inches for superior stock stability. The miter gauge itself has 41 detents in 5-degree increments across the entire 180 degrees, with special stops at 22-1/2 and 67-1/2 degrees, all gauged by angle indexing teeth for unparalleled accuracy. In addition, you can make 1/10th-degree adjustments with the stainless steel vernier cursor.

The thing we like best about this jig is its ability to custom fit to your miter gauge groove, courtesy of six disks along the length of the slot bar. With a turn of an allen wrench, each one expands or contracts individually to get you the absolute best fit on your table, leaving you with zero play between bar and channel and zero chance for error. Incra’s also designed a neat top-mounted tab that fits a T-slot and removes in a few second for plain channels, letting you move the jig from your T-slotted table saw to other tools with a standard groove, such as a router table.

We’re pretty taken with this setup, and we think anyone who craves precision will love it, too.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Content: This is a great product and upgrade to my shop. I haven't run it through all the paces yet as I've been building my shop instead of "stuff." Very versatile with a lot of little gadgets. From what I've seen you cannot go wrong with this. I particularly like the ability to do repetitive cuts with the stop attachment.

Content: The Incra Miter 1000se appears to function as advertised. the problem was in the packing and UPS. UPS deliverd the miter by droping the box over my five foot gate. This caused a knob to be broken along with a few other minor problems. The product was not packed very well. The only filler in the shipping box was some brown paper. This did not cushion the fall.

Content: I upgraded to this miter fence because I needed to make repeated + accurate angle cuts that were beyond the range of the fence that came with the saw. It worked beautifully. The stock I was cutting was too long to use the stop, but I'm sure it'll come in handy next time I'm working on something smaller. My one caution is that as you change the miter angle, the fence might need to be adjusted for blade clearance. A wrench is included for this purpose.
Summary: very useful upgrade

Content: I like this product. The directions were a bit hard to follow, there had been some changes to the product since they were written. There were some updated sheets for some of the changes, but not all, so it was somewhat confusing, but not impossible to figure out. The product was shipped to me in a timely fashion. The Incra Miter1000SE works as advertised, I'm very pleased with it, it's a big improvement over the stock miter gauge that came with my table saw.
