I have been offered an incra 200 and like it but I have been told they are not so good as the 1000se etc what do you have and why any gauge will do not just incra as this is a big purchase for me. Alistair -- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease |

Alistair, I love my Osborne. I don’t have any experience with the Incra though, so I can’t compare. -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

I have been thinking of buying a Incra too since I bought my new saw. The Incra 2000 looks good specially for my sliding table. BUT I change my mind then I read a article on the net that said there was some play in the bolts and so on on the Incra 2000. -- Per I |

Charlie my understanding is The osbourne is not sold here in the UK or Europe seems a bit sad but then that’s often the case, also I think only the head would do me my table saw slot is too wide so I would need to alter make a bigger slot piece perhaps also with the incra I don’t know thanks buddy I wrote directly to them re sending this to the UK to see if it was true but they have not answered me. $99.00 seems good I wonder what postage would be though.

I have had the 2000 and the 1000….. I sold the 2000 with the old saw table and bought a 2000 with the new cabinet saw table I also use the TSLS 32 on both tables…...I did not have any problems with either of them… -- Don't drink and use power tools @ lasercreationsbylarry.com.au |

Larry degoose I had the incra dovetail jig the big one sold it for shirt buttons as I found it diddn’t work for me except on box joints which it did well but I despite trying never got any real joy to my satisfaction with dovetails.

I have the 1000SE and the 5000 sled, love them both. Absolutely zero slop once you get them dialed in for your machine, and very accurate. I also have the “original Incra Jig” on my router table fence, and I think it’s great also. -- -Steve, Seattle |

Thanks August I never heard of a 3000 maybe i’ve just forgotten . I have to weigh these up against the superb industrial mitre gauge that came with my new a wadkin saw well used but new for me a really superb saw all 590 kilos of it with sliding table,if they don’t excell this wadkin gauge then I’ll stick with what I have the wadkin is 90 degree in the cetre the fixed stops each side 15 then 30 then 45 to both left and right so thats my only problem whether I would ever use all the fancly ones with minutes and seconds on them LOL Alistair -- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease |

Alistair – with a sliding table build into your saw, what do you need a miter gauge for? personally I have the incra SE1000 and it is a great miter gauge. the 3000 is the same body just longer fence. Incra makes superb products. -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |
