This review is from: Incra LS17WFNCSYS 17-Inch Range LS Super System For Router Tables, Band Saws & Drill Presses (Tools & Home Improvement)

I had been looking at purchasing the LS 17 for a long time but I could never convince myself to spend this much money on a router table fence. A few months ago, I purchased the Incra
Miter 100SE and I was so impressed by it's quality and accuracy which sold me on Incra products. So I bit the bullet and purchased the LS 17 Super System. I have an offset router table but I knew that it wouldn't be long enough for the LS. So I followed Incra's s suggestion on how to add an extension to my table. Upon receiving the LS from Amazon (who had the best price) I couldn't help but see the high quality of another Incra product. Assembly was easy and the instructions were clear. The book and templates that come with it are fantastic and they walk you through step by step for each type of joinery. I would highly recommend this product because Incra delivers what they promise.
As a follow up, the LS looked so nice on my rigged router table that I had to make some upgrades. I now have a 27" X 43" offset router table that I ordered from "Woodpeckers" and a router lift that I ordered from Incra/Woodpeckers.
I can't say anything more than the other reviewers have said already, they all gave 5 stars like I have. This is a router table upgrade that you won't regret!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant product, excellent company, August 30, 2009

This is an excellent piece of equipment. Take the time to set it up properly and be accurate with your initial set up measurements on the table (unless you have the INCRA table ready laid out) Perfect repeatability and super accurate results. In no time at all you will be making perfect box joints, dovetails and other more exotic joints. Furthermore, INCRA are an excellent company, with superb customer services and personal feedback. I have a bunch of INCRA stuff and it is all absolutely first rate.

5.0 out of 5 stars The finest design I have ever seen for woodworking!, November 27, 2007

What to say? This is the most thought out and best designed tool I have ever used. American tool design and manufacturing at it's finest. It's genius how it works.

It's all based on a lead screw with a pitch of 1/32". This enables the fence snap at any 1/32 increment along the 17 inch reach, and it is always repeatable. I even measured the repeatbility to 1/2000 of an inch. Need to get between 1/32, no problem, it has a vernier dial that basically moves the fence in 1/1000 increments. This allows very exact placement of the cutter tool relative to the work piece. It makes woodworking like machining with an upside down mill.

The fence once installed is rock solid, and can quickly be removed from the router table, broken down and put away. This is a great feature for those of us that work in the car garage. I can set mine up in about 20 minutes. You will need a larger router table for this to work. Mine is 48x38'

This unit comes with a second fence that attaches to the main one to allow clearence of larger bits (a must have), in addition, you can offset this second fence and with the use of a strait cutter bit you now have a jointer. Also, useful to just knock a fraction of an inch from the edge of a workpiece (like mitres).

It has a stop block which is genius. Lets you place the stop anywhere along either fence and it too will snap 1/32" increments, plus you can still get between the stops with a vernier screw.

This kit comes with a sliding fence most useful for dovetails or edge cuts. In addition it has a hi-rise fence for running boards on edge. I also like the vacuum attachment for dust collection. The kit includes template ruler guides and a very simple to follow guide for making interlocking joints like box and dovetails.

With the exception of making curves and following router templates, this tool will let your router do just about any cut you can think of in an X Y plain. All that is needed is a router lift to get that Z axis, which I don't have, and it hasn't slowed me down too much.

Incra has done an excellent job of every aspect of the LS Super System. It even looks cool!
