Thinking about this for my Bosch table saw...Incra V27 miter gauge. (Christmas Gift Card!)

Any of you have any experience with this particular accessory?

A lot of folks like the Incra Miter gauges GB, but I'm not a fan of them. The thin pressed aluminum seems to flimsy to me. I like a more substantial miter gauge. But thats just me!

I have the Incra 1000SE mitre guage, very sturdy and highly accurate.

I bought the Incra several years ago and found it didn't give me the precision I wanted. Don't know if it was the Incra or my saw at fault. But I returned it and bought a table saw sled with the angle adjustment. Can't remember the brand as I am on vacation in FL. But I wouldn't be with out the sled. I still have all my fingers!!

If anyone is interested I will post the brand name when I get home on 1/4/2013.

The table saw sled is a great safety device! Keeps your fingers away from the blade!

GB:

I have owned an Incra 2000 (no longer available) for about 7 or 8 years. After the initial setup it has been absolutely dependable. Straight forward adjustable in one degree increments, and with a built-in screw adjustment repeatably adjustable in 1/2 deg increments. Its shortcoming is it swings in one direction only, which is why (I believe) it was replaced by the 3000.

I have never been disappointed in any Incra product; in addition to the 2000 I own the 5000 and the recently available i-Box jig.

Good luck,
