MCNAMARA Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:24:25 +0000 http://howtobob.com/incra-miterexpress-miter-express/#comment-1221 I just love well made fine tuned tools - and this is one of them. I've used the sled for several projects since I purchased it and find it very accurate and easy to set up. I recently made some cabinet doors and it made a huge difference in how everything fit together. I was using a Dewalt 12" sliding miter to cut the rails and stiles. Being off just 1/32 is very noticable and the miter saw just doesn't align so easily. The sled arrives set up for installion on the left side of the blade, which makes the measurement gauges incorrect for use on the right side of the blade. A quick call to Incra and they sent inserts for right side operation. The only thing I don't like is the allen wrench screws for the miter gauge fence. When cutting double end 45's it's necessary to adjust the fence to clear the blade. It's a real pain having to keep track of the allen wrench. Thumb screws/wing nut type fastners would have been a better choice. I like the way it is easily removed to allow for cutting large material. Big Leroy's was very helpful and explained the differences between the Incra 5000 and the Incra Express. Rating: 4 / 5 I just love well made fine tuned tools – and this is one of them.

I should have purchased this item LONG ago! I am very pleased with the quality and accurateness of this item. It was also easy to assemble. You just need to read the instuctions COMPLETELY before starting. I learned this from other buyers. It took less than 20 minutes for me to assemble it. <br />Incra now has me as a lifetime customer!

The best thing is that you can actually clamp parts down before cutting them which gives you very good accuaracy. I use it with my 1000SE. Its also great because you can clamp jigs down to make repeatable cuts over and over. Rating: 5 / 5 This really makes it possible to cut small parts safely.

There are already a number of good reviews out there, so I won't bother to repeat that which has been said already. I'd recommend this tool.
