Tom -

Another excellent K & T Woodworking video episode! The Incra is an awesome system. Thanks so much for this posting! Looks like that new camera is working out well. Excellent job linking the three systems. I think this will be a good resource for anyone looking at a miter gauge upgrade.

Tom,

The video is great and show some excellent points I was unaware of with the Miter Express. I really like all of your videos!!!!

Great Video Tom. I have outfitted my sliding table with the incra track so that I can use the micro adjust and I’ve also put the extension slider in each end of my track so that I can extend it closser to the blade.

When I extend the extension on the left I can go greater than 8’ so I can make cutoffs from plywood to the 1/32” scale.

I like incra systems.

I hear at the end of the video I referred to “David’s Jessem Setup.” I meant, of course, Wayne’s. I have to start scripting these. I was laughing at the beginning…not only the headless woodworker, but the stacatto woodworker. I started the videotaping and forgot what the sled was called so I was trying to read the sticker with the sun glarring at me. LOL…The biggest tool in my shop is me. Thanks for watching!

Hi Tom:

I was wondering about the extra table on the right side of the blade. Does that table slide forward with each cut or is it pretty much stationery. Magnet, snug fit or something????

This is the second time I’ve come back to the video….......this winter I plan on more solid wood and my excalibur mitre fence gets in my way. If I go with your Incra here, I can still rip panels, but not have to deal with my current fence which is great for sheet goods, best word would be “clumbsy” with smaller solid wood pieces.

Thanks…...................Neil

Hi Neil,

The right hand table has a guide that fits into the right hand mitre slot. The table gets positioned before the cut, but does not slide with the cut. I hope that helps.

Tom – just when I’m ready to watch this (I’ve been putting off getting a decent miter gauge), the video doesn’t seem to play. Any way to fix it? The intro and end are there but no middle Incra content…

I’ll take a look at it Dorje. There was another video that doesn’t seem to be playing on Jumpcut, either. I may have to move them all to Blip.

Thanks! Look forward to viewing it!

Thanks for fixing this up – that was a ton better than the Incra promo video (which gives you 28 seconds of info – just not enough). What a great complement to the text reviews I’ve read…

Thanks Tom!
