I already bought a Freud dado set, with Rockler's 20% off coupon a few
months ago--anticipating that I would one day own a saw. What I need is
a suitable 230W adapter/plug-inlet for the wall. The one I already
purchased doesn't fit the horizontally-slotted plug. That's the sort of
problem you may run into with anticipatory purchases...


I really like my JessEm miter gauge (JessEm makes great stuff). The
Incra 1000HD is really nice, too, though not as solid.
Amazon had the Incra 1000HD on sale for about $110 during last Christmas
season. I'll let you know if I see it.
If you doubt me, check camelcamelcamel.com (I haven't checked, I may be
off by a few dollars).

FWIW I bought the Incra 1000HD about 18 months ago and love it. It is
so rock solid an accurate that for quite a while I atually quit using my
Dubby Miter Sleds. The Dubbys are great up to about 25" but for 1x8
material the Incra works well.

One other note I also bought the next size up telescoping fence. The
measured capacity is now 49"

And add the a sacrificial fence for tear out free cross cuts.
