I bought this for the accuracy in making miter cuts of various angles for pieces used for segmented bowls. It works very well with easy setup and great accuracy.

Is this mitre gauge available in metric?
Does this have to be used on the left side?
BEST ANSWER: no, it can be adjusted to the right side. It isn"t a quick change, so you should set it to the side you use most

Will this fit a Porter-Cable saw?
BEST ANSWER: Should fit it just fine. I was looking at the Porter-Cable saws and I noticed they have the standard ¾" slot. This mitre gauge works great on my Craftsman Saw. You or the person you are buying this mitre gauge for will love it. Gary

How many expansion guide are there? In the photo it looks like there is only one at the end?
BEST ANSWER: That is correct. The three small black screws are to adjust the length. Please keep in mind that this guide is heavy on the left side. If you saw is short on the left you must be careful sliding it. Also the main fence can be moved along its' entire length if you choose to use it in the right hand slot.
Good luck. I love its' accuracy.

Will it fit in my craftsman saw with safety tabs throughout the miter slot?
BEST ANSWER: There seem to be adjustments for any standard miter track. If you have an older Craftsman saw with a non standard track I'm not sure. My saw a Ridgid 4510 portable has miter slots with a safety groove that was no problem.

Will this work on a Bosch table saw?
BEST ANSWER: If the Bosch table saw has a standard sized miter slot, yes. Some saws, apparently Craftsman and Shopsmith do not. The slots are marginally different. If it is not, they make other bars that do fit. My experience is with the Shopsmith, and they do make one for it. You can find out for sure by emailing Incra. They are excellent in customer relations.

can this miter gauge replace the miter on a dewalt 7490 table saw?
BEST ANSWER: The guide bar on this unit is adjustable so you can get a good fit. I can be made to work if your saw has a t-slot to keep the bar from coming out of the slot.

Must have tool!
Don't believe all the negative reviews here. This is a fine piece of equipment, and as far as I am concerned, a must have tool. It is not flimsy or made out of cheap stamped steel as some reviews have indicated. I measured, and the teeth on the protractor head (for angle adjustments) are over 1/16" thick steel. The instructions are clear and easy to follow on how to get the gauge in perfect alignment with your blade and 90 degrees to the table top. The flip stop and is easy to operate and accurately machined. As one review pointed out, the tape measure on the top of the fence does move, but it is supposed to. This allows you to set the measurement accurately for each cut due to the aluminum fence needing to be moved to avoid it hitting the blade on some angle cuts. It is all clear in the instructions, and as with any precision tool, it's best you just bite the bullet and read them! Some other things worth pointing out, there is a handy scale printed on the top of the gauge which tells you exactly what angle to cut at to make something a certain number of sides. Say your making a segmented bowl blank, and need to know what angle to cut for 15 sides. Just look at the gauge, and it will tell you to make 12 degree cuts to achieve this. Couldn't be easier. Also, the method for adjusting the miter bar in the table slot is extremely easy and can be done without removing it from the table. The whole process of getting a no slop fit took me about 2 minutes. I rely heavily on the reviews on this and other websites. I don't want to sink a lot of money into something that doesn't work. I was disappointed in some of the reviews here, and after getting the Incra 1000HD, I thought I needed to clarify some of the alleged issues that people are having. I don't want anyone else to be turned off this tool due to bad information! This is an expensive tool. The bottom line is, if you struggle with the junk miter gauge that likely came with your saw, this will make your life so much easier. The accuracy is unbeatable.

Lots of great features. After doing...
Lots of great features. After doing the steps for setup in the intructions though I found that the fence was not square to the table of my saw. The angle piece that holds it to the bar was out of square quite a bit. The intructions said to use strips of paper to shim it square. I had some .001 shim stock and after much trial and error I got it close. I emailed INCRA about it and after many weeks got a response. They said this only matters when you hold a workpiece tight to the fence instead of putting pressure down to the table. I build a lot of picture frames with narrow pieces that should be held tight to the fence. I am pleased with the miter gauge but think that a high end tool should have been square out of the box.

1000HD Incra
I've been putting off replacing my factory table saw fence. With radial & miter saws, I didn't really see a need. I saw this on sale and said it's about time. Great price/ free shipping, thanks Rockler Clause. Set up was super simple, fits tight on Jet table saw, zero play on table and in fence system. Minor fine adjustments were needed to zero it in, perfect, I am fussy. Adjustments and use are easy and simple. This fence can do it all with repeatable percision. I do agree with other reviews, this unit can be fragil and like all percision tools, measuring tools, needs to be treated with respect. Custom kitchen cabinets are in the planning stage, this will be an asset. I highly recommend this fence.

A must have for tablesaw work
I don't want to repeat what has already been said but this is a very well made precision miter gauge. Set up out of the box is very easy and painless. You really cant ask for more with exact stops for each degree, ability to extend the fence and even add a backer board. The Incra slide fit system is excellent and you can achieve a positive no play fit in the table saw groove. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this product. I give it four stars not five simply because of the price. At full normal price it is just to expensive for what you get. Wait for it to go on sale and then I feel its a fair purchase.

Love it!
I had a bit of a challenge setting it up because the miter slot on my Bosch table saw was a bit larger than the directions said it allowed for, but after some fine tuning, I got it set properly and it is a dream! It works very well and coming from a stock gauge, its terrific. I still have yet to try the .1 increment adjustments, but I love it thus far!

Excellent all around performance with user friendly adjustments to precise cut specifications. I have put the Incra to some rather demanding use and am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Works as advertised
I am happy with my Incra Miter 1000HD,.. angles and postitioner are accurate, repeatable, and hold in position well. Cutting 15 degree segments for segmented bowl (banjo rim) turning worked well. (I wish it had a hard 11.25 degree notch for 16 segments.) I wonder if the necessarily delicate angle notches and selector may wear with use, but only time will tell. Moving the fence requires an allen wrench (included), but as long as the tool is handy, no problem. As with any larger fence miter gauge, remember to check/move the fence when you change angles on the gauge and bevels on the saw blade, or change miter slots-- to avoid shortening your fence or tripping your SawStop cartridge, don't ask how I know.

1000HD Incra
I have a 40 year old Delta table saw and this was the perfect fit. Set up was a breeze. Works great. Extendable fence and stop works great. Cut 45s for a end table top last weekend, came out perfect.

Goodish. Not worth the price.
I bought this and put it together and loved it. But after using a few times the expansion discs that make it fit your T-slot wear out. I was suprised how fast mine wore out. Of course you don't realize they are worn out til after you make cut a frame for something and of course they don't line up perfectly cause you had play in the slot cause the expansion disc wore out so quickly. You have to take the whole handle and other components off to replace the last expansion disc.
Everything else is pretty solid on it. It would be awesome if it had different options of miter gage bar sizes instead of sending expansion discs that wear out so quickly.
