I wanted to add to the mitre gauge posts. Wayne posted a photo tour of the Jessem System, and David posted initial impressions of the Kreg System.
The incra 1000SE is seen here in the Incra Miter Express sled. Both are available at Woodpeck.com You can see the kerf where the mitre sled straddles the blade in the tablesaw allowing for the cutoff piece to be coplanar with the workpiece. This decreases the chance of the saw flinging the cutoff piece back.
The Incra guage is adjutable in half degree incriments with detents every 5 degrees from +90 to -90 degrees.
The mitre bar is extendable for longer cross cutting applications by loosening a set screw and extending the bar.
The stop block is microajustable with both gross movement, and ultra fine movement for repeated cuts.
The mitre gauge easily moves to +/- 90 degrees and is stabilized in the sled with two set screws. These are not necessary but they are a nice addition. The mitre gauge moves forward or back in the sled in order to always be able to support the workpiece.
The sled has a hold down that slides along it’s entire width for stock of varying widths and thicknesses.
Here is a video of the operation of the sled:
What else is there to say. It’s a miter gauge, deathly accurate, very easy to use, convenient and I give it a “Great Purchase!” rating.
Cheers!

Hi Tom;
Great product review here.
The product itself looks very well engineered.
But then, what else could we expect from Incra? (or you for that matter).
Thanks for taking the time to post this, I’m sure a lot of us will find it very helpful.

Nice review! Sounds like you are very happy with it. I have a 3000 miter gauge and love it.

I have one and love it. Bought the whole get-up last year’s woodworkers show from Incra to replacethe standard issue Delta guage.. First project after I bought was a small piece that required very accurate angles (to avoid obvious gaps)....after using the Incra on that project…I was a fan forever.

Got the same set up Tom and it would be hard to find something that worked any better. It cuts any angle you want – dead on.

Good video. I looked at one at a woodworking show, but I’d already topped my $ allotment for the day.

Great job on the video Tom. It makes me want to take a look at this miter gauge for my work.

Incra sells a combo … the 1000se miter guage, and the Incra Miter Express together at a better price.
I have just set mine up recently and agree that the cuts are very accurate. However, the ‘rulers’ they provide for length measurement are poor.
Many of us like to use the miter guage on the left. If you have a left tilt table saw, you will have to use the guage in the right hand slot (if using the fence). Why? Because the sled is set up to hold your miter gauge on the right side if you have a left tilt saw.
You can reassemble the fence on your 1000se for use on the left of the blade (without sled), but this takes time, is a nuisance, and the scale has to be set up again.
The sled and Incra miter guage works better for right tilt table saws for the reasons I’ve sighted. For a right tilt table saw, there is no need to disassemble and setup the miter guage for use in the left slot.
