Miter Gauge purchased
As a follow up to my questions and the many answers as to "Now
which miter gauge"? I bought one. It was a hard decision that did not come quickly. After many e-mail exchanges with Woodhaven and Incra I finally bought the Incra 1000HD, on sale at Rockler for $169. So far just handling and making the adjustments it seems to be several steps above my old Kreg. It is indeed easy to switch from the left side to the right side even with the telescoping fence extension. So thank you all for the suggestions and recommendations and a special thanks to Edward Hennessey for the in shop experimenting and data gathering to answer my questions. I thank you and I am sure Incra thanks you. ;~) |

The 1000HD was a little large and heavy for my contractor's saw table top. When pulled all the way back to accomodate a variety of board width's the weight of the protractor head would tip off the saw. Figured it would get to be a pain so I bought the lighter Kreg miter guage coincidentally enough. It works fine for my purposes, but if I ever get that cabinet saw I want, an Incra miter gauge is out there waiting for me to snap it up. |

Hey you have the Woodhaven miter gauge, "Multirouter", FESTOOL, and enough drawers to make you go cross eyed if you tried to count them all. I'm jealous. I take your recomendations seriousely and it was going to be either the Woodhaven or the Incra. I had better gut feelings about the Woodhaven because it is so much like the Kreg that I had chose but the $250 price tag sorta made me consider other brands. I actually did not like the Incras for some unsupported reason, just a bad gut feeling I guess. I will say however the 1000HD series is sort'a new according to Incra and it has a few enhancements over several of the other miter gauges. I have been mysteriously considering dropping the texting from my phone, you and Bryan are the only two people I text or get text's from. IIRC you can text me and it can/will come in as an e-mail if you choose that method of delivery. |

Some clients don't check their email, but will answer texts immediately, along with wife and daughter. I gotten used to using 'Note Everything' to text Linda the grocery list, pet store list, etc, and if she's in a lesson she will text before she will answer a phone call.

I am normally a very patient person but I was running out of time on my last job and it became a war, me against the pin. I WON the battle, lost the war $169 later. ;~) |

On the test morning, there wasn't going to be time to sanitize the dust collector (me) before launch into the world. But later thought about the issue settled on the notion that the cantileverd fence could be hitched up to the back of a wide board with an underhanded palm and upward thumb so it would feed without a bump at the forward lip of the table. If you get a chance to evaluate the maneuver before I do or arrive at a better technique, please lend it to my ear. And, hey, the choice of name or derived nickname is yours. I barged into Usenet on a group where certificated monikers was the norm, so that's the signature in the fingers' muscle memory. Regards, Edward Hennessey |

More than likely I will not be using this miter gauge for wide panels even though I did put a lot of focus on the length of the guide bar. I have right and left Dubby Jigs/sleds for cutting that kind of stuff and when wide enough I simply use the rip fence. i mostly wanted a dead on gauge for squaring the ends of boards so that I would not have to pullout the sleds. I found that the Kreg saw more action than I imagined and the Incra is such a step up it too may see even more action once I add the 27-49" telescoping fence. Simply put if the fence will not sit on the TS top I will get the sled out. And, hey, the choice of name or derived nickname is yours.
