Second:
Slide
1 ⁄ 4 -20 x 3 ⁄ 8 " socket head cap
screw and washer up to fence mounting
bracket and tighten in place.
Adjust the Miter Bar
Adjust the miter bar at each of the (6)
expansion mechanism locations for a good
fit in your table saw’s miter slot. Turning the
screw clockwise expands the mechanism. You’ll
find three of the expansion locations in front of
the fence and one underneath the fence (you’ll
need to slide the fence for access). Adjust
these forward (4) expansion points first,
expanding a little at each of the locations until
the bar slides smoothly. Finally, remove the
large miter push knob and pivot the miter head
away from the bar for access to the remaining
(2) expansion points.
Adjust Fence Mounting Bracket 90°
to Saw Blade
Set the miter head to read 0° (the tooth on
the actuator should point to 0° on the
scale). Tighten the miter lock and the actuator
thumbscrews. Using the supplied
5 ⁄ 32 " hex key,
loosen the (3) #10-24 x 5 ⁄ 16 " socket head cap
screws that secure the fence mounting bracket
to the miter head. Unplug your table saw, then
use a reliable machinist square to set the fence
at 90° to the saw blade. Tighten the (3) socket
head cap screws.
This one-time calibration prepares your INCRA
Miter Gauge for work in the left hand miter slot.
To calibrate for right hand miter slot usage,
reverse the miter gauge as described on page
5, then repeat the above adjustments. Just
remember that the accuracy of The INCRA Miter
Gauge on any subsequent setting is dependent
upon the accuracy of your initial 90° calibration.
It is a good idea to verify your setup with a trial
cut at 90°.

First:
Find a position for the fence that
provides clearance between fence
and blade at ALL miter head angles.
Safety Tip: Fence Stops
After calibrating your INCRA Miter Gauge
for use in the left miter slot, find a single
position for the fence that provides safe
clearance between the fence and blade at
all angles. Loosely assemble one of the
1 ⁄ 4 - 20 x 3 ⁄ 8 " socket head cap screws with
washer and rectangular nut found in your
hardware pack. Slide the nut into the rear
T-slot on the fence and up to the fence
mounting bracket. Make sure the washer
is firmly against the fence mounting
bracket as you tighten the fastener. See
Fig. 5. Repeat for the right miter slot
setup. Now, when the fence is later
removed for work on the opposite side of
the blade, the fence stop will retain your
original position.
Third:
Use a
machinist
square to
adjust fence
at 90° to
sawblade.
