The Woodhaven Deluxe fits your parameters. I own one and would buy it again.
Do a Google.

The Woodhaven is $119 on Hartville tools.

The Kreg is almost identical. But the Kreg adds a verier to add tenths
of a degree adjustments, and lets you do micro-adjustments (100th of a
degree).


$139.99 on Amazon which includes the 24" metal track (this sells for
$39.99 at Woodcraft) and free shipping.

Rockler has a sale on some items that may fit your budget
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11261

I have both the 1000 and 2000 model with the 2000 being the workhorse. I
purchased extra aluminum fence's for both and would not trade them for
anything except a sliding table. If all you're doing is light to medium
work, the model 1000 will work well but if you're cross-cutting longer,
heavier pieces of stock, then you should look into the 2000. the manf is
www.incra.com and one of their major resellers is WoodPeckers at
http://www.woodpeck.com/

Worth the time to investigate.

The Kreg is a nice unit and they probably have the kinks worked out. I
bought one in the summer of 2004 and Kreg sent me 3 indexing pins and
finally a new miter gauge before getting one that would lock in to 90
degrees with the indexing pin.

I can tell you to avoid the latest Osborne. I went through 2 of them before
giving up and exchanging for a Kreg. When setting with the indexing shaft
extended full to 45 degrees both Osborne units had 2 to 3 degrees of
wobble. When collapsing the indexing shaft to obtain 45 degrees it was rock
solid. An apparent design flaw.

I have the kreg, the alum bar can flex a bit if you are trying to start
your cut off the table.

I've seen some sales for the Jess'em unit at a bit over your budget,
but it looks like a tank!

I bought the kreg for the venier scale, but a steel miter bar would be
nice vs the alum it comes in.

My dad built a custom sled to do angles a real work of art, he puts as much
time into making his jigs as his toy making. I suppose being retired allows
for that but he has always done this kind of thing.

I have the (2) of the cheapest Incras (v.67?), with shop-made
disposable fences.

FWIW, all of my 90's are done with sleds. Once you go sled, you'll
never go back. G

Agreed. If I only had a shop that would hold a sled for every angle ... but
even a sled that would accommodate every angle would do.

How many angles do you use? It would seem to me not that many but you might
be doing some unique work.

Hmmmmmm. A 40' storage container for sleds....

Nahhhh, my wife would never put up with it!

============
Well Bob G... is going to disagree with Bob S on this one... I own a
Incra 2000 and it gathers dust in my shop...

I just find it very bulky, and heavy, in short I do not like how it
FEELS... I will say that I have absolutely no complaints with its
accuracy... I have been meaning to "step down" to a 1000 for yrears
just never have ...

A myriad of angles, most never given precise angular measurement, but copied
instead, and transferred to the jigs, shims, cutting tools, workpieces,
etc., using adjustable "squares".

Copying the angles, many compound, on an antique chair, a project of which I
am in the planning stages as we speak, is an excellent example:

... this thing has more angles than Minnesota Fats.

I think the cheap one (about $59) is the V27.
The 1000 is more versatile but I like the size of the V27.
If they would put that little degree pointer on the V27 I'd like it a
lot more.

Yes I do, both left and right sided. I do not know what I would do with out
them. The angles you set are dead on.

I have the osborne and the incra 1000se. The incra is very nice, but
the longer cross member for the osborne is good too so I kept both.
The incra fence seems a little flimsy too and I don't find it as easy
to adjust as they say.
One thing I like about the incra is the ability to make sliding faces
from MDF which I seem to find a need for a lot to prevent tear out.
Can't do that on ther osborne.
I have not seen a perfect do it all miter gauge yet.
