Get perfect miter cuts the first time, without any need for trial-and-error, when you use the Incra Miter 3000 Table Saw Miter Gauge. The Incra exclusive AngleLOCK Indexing System delivers 364 lock solid angle stops in 5-, 1-, and 1/2-degree increments over a full 180-degree range with continuous adjustability between all 1/2-degree settings. Combine this with the included GlideLOCK Miter Bar, Incra Flip Fence and the Incra Flip Shop Stop, and you'll easily achieve mitering accuracy that you never thought possible.

Interlocking grooves in the fence and stop ensure even the sharp edge of mitered work will not push behind the stop. The Miter Gauge also has eight expansion points that allow for adjustments to both sides of the bar for zero side play, and anti-friction travel. This gauge works with all table saws with standard (or near standard) 3/4-by-3/8-inch miter gauge channels, including Delta, Craftsman, and other imports.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I dont use my miter saw as much, April 24, 2001

This review is from: Incra MITER3000/27 Miter 3000 Table Saw Miter Gauge (Tools & Home Improvement)

It performs flawlessly as promissed. However if your serious about woodworking and expect perfection in your work this tool will be an asset to you. Most of the time you can't even use the miter gauges supplied with the saw and this really limits the usefullness of the saw. I have been playing around with it for a week making various cuts and checking them for accuracy and I am throughly pleased and I feel I got my moneys worth. I have seen some of the reviews of other incra miter gauges and there has been some concern about the guide wheels wearing out. I can see this happening but I don't consider any tool maintence free and this is something that will need attention as time goes on but I feel that it is acceptable.The only thing I am still not sure of is were the differences between the 2000 and the 3000 worth the money? And I had no other experiences with after market gauges so I can't compare. I do know that it does perform as I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incra 3000 Miter Gauge, July 4, 2001

This review is from: Incra MITER3000/27 Miter 3000 Table Saw Miter Gauge (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've needed a precise miter guage for some time now. On the recommendation of a woodworking buddy who had bought a Incra 2000 miter guage and liked it, I purchased the Incra 3000. I cannot believe I existed for as long as I did without this wood working tool. The miter guage and fence is accurate, easy to use, and precise. It allows one to make segmented wood rings quite easily. The Incra 3000 uses mechanical stops for all of the commonly used miters. Using a unique fine adjustment half degree increments can be obtained. This feature, while very handy can get you in trouble if you forget to retun it to "zero" before changing to you next angle. No fault of the tool, just the user's forgetfullness. The 3000 is an upgrade from the 2000 in that the miter guage swings in both directions while the 2000 need to be taken aprt and reassembled if miters in the other direction are required. Tool setup and alignment are easy and the directions are great. I would highly recommend this product to any woodworker who needs accurate miters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak point makes this tool unuseable, February 26, 2002

This review is from: Incra MITER3000/27 Miter 3000 Table Saw Miter Gauge (Tools & Home Improvement)

The protractor head, associated knobs, fittings, and adjustable miter slot bar are very good and probably provide a high degree of accuracy. The problem lies in the attachment of the fence to the protractor head thus negating the protractor head accuracy.

There is a piece of 1/8" angle iron between the protractor head and the fence (3/4" x 1-1/4" x 6"). The narrow leg is attached to the top of the protractor head with three screws and the other leg is attached to the back of the fence with two screws. The three screw connection to the protractor head provides adjustment to set the protractor head square to the ts blade. The two screws holding the angle iron and fence together are backed with threaded plates that slide in the fence thus allowing the fence to be moved from side to side.

The angle iron between the fence and the protractor head is not sturdy enough to prevent the fence rolling from front to back. Consequently there is no way to insure the fence face is 90 degrees to the ts table. The instructions provided say to put tape between the angle iron leg and the protractor head, either in front of the screws or behind depending which way the fence is out of square. It's obvious Incra saw the problem, but did not come up with a satisfactory adjustment.

To compound the problem, the protractor head and associated mechanism is made out of 1/8" steel and plastic. Flex in this construction amplifies itself to the fence.

This miter guage could be a superior tool if: 1) the protractor head / fence connection was strengthened, 2) heavier guage material or cast material was used in its construction.

All of this is mute if the only use of the miter guage was to cut material flat on the table. Unfortunately, this is not the case for most people.

I don't have an superior alternative to this miter guage, but am looking.
