Title : Incra 1000HD Mitre Gauge
Review : I have been using this mitre gauge for some 9 years now. It has been at the centre of my table saw for all manner of crosscuts. The gauge enables accurate repeatable cuts (using the invaluable flip stop). Extending the fence length (for cutting longer lengths) provides a little extra stability for the work piece. The many notched angle settings make it a breeze to select "standard" cutting angles. The accuracy and repeatablity of the angle settings is invaluable when cutting mitred joints using unequal widths of timber. As I like to keep the fence positioned such that it barely clears the blade, the scale on the fence is of minimal value as the fence often has to be re-positioned for the angled cuts. Once the gauge has been properly aligned to the saw blade, it rarely needs to be checked and even less likely to need adjustment. In fact I have had to adjust it only once in the 9 years I've used the 1000HD - and that was when I purchased a new table saw. Although a bit pricey, this mitre gauge is well worth the investment.
