Costumer Reviews

The miter express sled is all that I expected. It works well with the Incra miter gauge as well as an older Rockler model. The setup is straight forward and it allows you to cut pieces, especially smaller pieces safely, which is what I needed.

The gauge has very good accuracy across the horizontal plane. Repeatability is excellent. Once it is setup and adjusted, it stayed locked in the whole time. My complaint is that the mounting bracket between the fence and the protractor was not square. The vertical angle of the fence was set back about 2 to 3 degrees. If you cut flat against the bottom portion of the fence or only make straight cuts, there are no problems. Now, if you cut at any angle other than 0 degrees and use the full height of the fence, the cut will not be straight. The higher the protractor angle, the bigger the problem.

The instructions tell you how to shim the gauge to get it perpendicular to the table, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Since the bracket's vertical angle is not consistent across the face, you need multiple shims of different values on either side of the bracket. I contacted Incra support and they quickly replaced the original bracket with one that was better, but still not at 90 degrees. I ended up taking the bracket to a local machine shop and they milled it to a perfect 90 degrees across its entire length. Now it works like I expected for a fence from this highly regarded manufacturer. At the price they charge for this miter gauge and fence, I shouldn't have to spend an additional $30 to have it brought into proper alignment.

I use this unit on a Bosch 4000 jobsite saw. I believe that for the money, and the size, you can't beat this unit. Any other sled and gauge combination would be too large for a jobsite saw; however, this unit is perfectly sized for it.

The setup and calibration will take you approximately 45 minutes. For the bosch, it was a bit confusing since the tilt on the saw is opposite to how the unit is setup (although they include some instruction on how to flip that).

I am rating it at 4 stars because of one flaw that I find to be foolish. Every adjustment on the unit is made via an allen wrench screwdriver that is included, except for the non-moving part of the sled. It requires a tiny allen wrench to remove the unit from your saw table top (something I do every time as my saw travels from job to job). I wish the allen wrench screws would have been sized the same as the screw driver included, so that way it would only require one tool to adjust or remove the unit.

For repeatable cuts -- the crosscut sled (once calibrated) with the shop stops cannot be beat. It's simple to just churn out cut after cut with precision repeatability.

For the cabinet maker or finish carpenter who plans to use the unit at the jobsite, I completely recommend it. If you have a cabinet saw, or larger saw, I'd recommend going with a larger unit so that you can utilize more real estate.
