Precision Miter Gauge System

Arrived promptly but with 2 minor bits missing. New parts arrived in a couple of days following a phone call. Very accurate. It has taken my use of the saw bench up a level in accuracy.

A bit expensive for this. Used few times but you can build a sled for better cuts.

Recht teuer aber definitiv sehr gut, sehr präzise für holzarbeiten

WOW! What a nicely made item! You have to put it together. There are like four small bags of parts, some of which you may not need, depending on your saw table. There are a couple of extras of some of the plastic parts. The instructions lists exactly how many you need and you only use them on the single step involving them. You might have extras. They will not be used later on in the installation. You did not miss anything. ;-) The "fence stop" parts are shown in the instructions in a manner that allows you to clearly see how they are assembled, but the instructions never mention where they go; luckily, the box has some excellent information and photos. There is a small part on the "Swing Stop" (the "support button") that is a tiny bit too thick, preventing the Swing Stop arm from fully doing what it needs to do. I found that I had the Nylock nut too tight. Once I backed off on it so that it moved as per the instructions, the support button was only a very minor problem. Perhaps buying a small, brass or teflon washer sized to match the two brass ones in the kit (and maybe half as thick, hence my suggestion for teflon) would make this fit perfectly. The self-adhesive rule is METAL, so the instructions to use strong scissors or snips is something you should heed. I used scissors, large ones, and may need to sharpen them after doing this. You get a four foot section of this rule and you cut it at 1 and at 25 and it fits just about perfectly. The trough it runs in needs to be cleaned first with an alcohol swab (or whatever) to degrease it. The trough is exactly the correct depth, but there is a little bit of wiggle room from top to bottom, so peel off about six inches of backing at a time, press the rule against the far side and then press it flat a little at a time. Then your rule will be perfectly aligned. (This is totally not important. I am just OCD when it comes to being as precise as I can with stuff like this.) The four "glides" that are installed into the fence arm are TIGHT. I had to press hard to get them started and then tap them in with a tack hammer to get them fully seated. They look like they could easily fall out or move; they won't as the fit is snug. The little lens came in a small ziplock baggie. The other parts were in sealed bags. I saved the ziplock baggie for the unused parts. (The main unused parts - for me - were a T-guide for the track bar. My table has a 3/4" slot with straight sides. Some have a T-guide to lock the attachments in place. This kit comes with a T disc and screw for the track bar that I did not use. Since I may purchase a new table in the near future I decided to save these along with the extra nylon adjuster pins and glides; I might want them later. The brass lock pin was missing in my kit and I was sort of pissed off about that. Then I took the thin, plastic tray out of the box. It has fallen out of its little cubby during shipping. It is the only LOOSE part on this device. You need to make sure that however you store this that this pin does not disappear on you. It fits snugly, and if you sort of torque the two fence and guide together a bit and then lock the protractor down the pin stays in place well enough. Excellent product. I like Kreg stuff and will buy more. Easily as nice as the Incra, perhaps nicer. Recommended!

Justo lo que necesitaba para realizar cortes precisos y exactos. Excelente calidad de materiales.

j'acheté cette jauge pour ma scie sur table évolution rage 5, satisfait de cet achat,après une modification de la barre alu guide qui a une épaisseur de 9,5mm à 7mm car la profondeur de la rainure de table n'a que 7mm,je pouvais le fraiser au boulot.la largeur de ce guide est de 18,6 et la largeur de la rainure de table est de 19,6,dans la largeur de ce guide y'a 5 taraudages M5,des vis M5 sans tête sont avec pour règler le jeu,autre bémol le mètre ruban adhésif est en inch,j'en ais acheté un métrique sur amazone

This was a hard decision, buy Incra or Kreg. I read every available review and the precision miter comparison review in the Fine Woodworking Magazine where the Kreg was judged to be the best buy. Incra miter has a lot of features but it appears that the attachment bracket on this product needs to be shimmed, a no, no to leave that to the buyer. The Kreg is advertised as factory calibrated and I can confirm it actually is. I recommend to set the Kreg miter up very carefully. I used Lee Valley set up blocks instead of a tape measure. Use utmost care in cutting the tape correctly. The miter bar guide screws where set up as follows: ( deviation from manual) - insert all plastic guide screws with a correct fitting screw driver - use a stop block to set all 5 screws flush with bar - then turn each screw exactly the same amount in small increments if bar is sloppy (think carburetor adjustment) This procedure works best and I was able to set guide over entire lengths first time with a sweat alignment as result. Following the Kreg procedure is a hit or miss. Next, the unit should definitively used with a 3/4" fence long enough to extend over saw blade. This way you have proper backing for small work pieces. I made several for straight and miter cuts. However I screwed the first on up as I did not allow for the plastic guides inserted in the extrusion. I recommend to measure centreline for holes with miter installed. Other Option would be if Kreg would add these dimensions to the manual to avoid these mishaps. This miter gauge is definitively a buy. I will make my own stop attachment for mitred pieces the Kreg option is no good.
