I was looking for T-rail for a fence at my miter station. Most options were quite expensive. Incra (a name I know from years of woodworking) offered this at an excellent price. I wasn't disappointed. Solidly built product, nice finish and reasonable price.

This is a decent price for a dual track and the track has a decent design.

As noted by one of the other reviewers, the scale is in segments. There are marks to line up the segments hopefully without creating measurement error, but this will be much more cumbersome than if the scale moved as a single unit.

The Lexan scale on the Incra 48" Trackplus that I received from Tool King is torn is several places rendering it pretty useless as a sliding ruler. Zero stopping at any point would be a major chore. In the torn places, it is overlapping almost as if they took pieces from 3 different rulers and just stuck them in the track, not even bothering to splice them together. So when you slide it, you need to slide 3 different pieces and then line up the overlaps. I can't believe that Incra would send out a product like this, and I cannot believe that Tool King would either. Sure, I might be able to splice the thing together myself, but I am so mad at receiving such a bad product that I am not even going to try.

Another note: The scale is a right to left ruler. That did not bother me too much but I did not see that in any description. I had thought that Incra would have put a left to right scale on one side and a right to left on the other side. Nope.

The Trackplus that I received was not wrapped in any plastic nor any other packaging other that the box that Tool King put it into. I would have thought that Incra would have sent the product in some kind of shrink wrap just to protect the Lexan scale. Did Tool King know that they were sending me a defective unit? Who knows!

Also, the Lexan scale is pretty flimsy and brittle. I was counting on it being stiffer. I could see it breaking if it was slid outside the track and something fell on it or it banged into something.

This might be a good product if you do not need the advertised adjustable zero stop capability. For me it is a TTrack with no plus.
