Default Incra Ultra router fence question

I looked at the Jointech (on-line) but couldn't find a whole bunch of details
compared with the Incra. I agree, marketing wars really tend to dominate the
"features" of one manufacturer over another 8^)

The Incra fence is very solid. It's a geeat purchase. However, you
should also consider the competing fence from JoinTech. I don't own
either but have been doing tradeoffs between them for s purchase this
spring -- about the time I'll have enough money...

There are several things I like about JoinTech:
there eye-peice has an anti-parallax feature and is not as wide so you
can clean underneath it without removing it.
They use some sacrificial pieces that fit between the fence right at
the bit to acheive zero clearance cutting.

Their fence attachments use a dovetail technique to attach -- seems
much stronger and stable.

I saw demo's of both at a recent woodworkers show. Both are nice but I
believe JoinTech edges out Incra slightly.

Incra, however, has won the marketing war .. so far.

Oh, and JoinTech is made in America.
