I have the 52” on a general saw and love it. I also have an LS-25 on my router table. Can’t beat the Incra stuff for accuracy. -- Don't rollerskate in a buffalo herd |

I use the Incra LS systems on my table saw and my router table. Love them both and I would not change. -- Every step of any project should be considered your masterpiece if you want the finished product to reflect the quality of your work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com |

I have the 32” on my saw. No complaints. I have an older Incra system on my router table and another on the drill press. -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |

I’ll be buying the TS-LS system before the end of the year. I’ll be putting it on my Delta contractor’s saw and mounting a left-side router table. I’ve been wanting to upgrade my TS for years and this is a great way to do it. Just need to save up some more buckaleros. |

I’ve never found the extra space needed to the right side of the saw to be an issue. I place my DC right where the carriage extends to the right. So when I need to cut big panels, which isn’t often, I just nudge the DC over (it’s on wheels) to give clearance for the carriage. Unless you just have an exceptionally small shop, this really isn’t a “con.” As far as using digital accessories with regular T-fences, maybe. But with the Incra, you lock down immediately on 1/32” increments because of the lead-screw design. That means for wicked fast cuts, something you couldn’t really get with a digital T-fence. Of course, the other half of the package is when you put a router in your TS wing. The router package and wonder fence provide great amounts of versatility and functionality. But even if I didn’t have that, the TS fence MORE than pays for itself in time saved. -- jay, www.allaboutastro.com |

I came up with a solution to the Incra fence sticking so far out to the right on wide cuts. My table saw right side is against the shop wall. I cut a rectangular hole in the wall and added a hinged drop down door. Now when I need a wide cut I open the door and the fence slides right out into the covered car port. Does not seem like I lose much heat out the 24” x 6” opening, of course in the spring and fall it is open to increase air flow. -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |
