The modular design of your INCRA Miter5000 permits conversion of the unit from a miter sled to the more compact miter gauge. The
design further allows Miter3000 owners to upgrade their miter gauge to the miter sled configuration.
Converting Miter5000 Miter sled to Miter3000 Miter Gauge
Note: When a shoulder bolt is called out in the instructions, (for example-
1
⁄
4
x
1
⁄
2
" shoulder bolt), the first dimension refers to the
diameter of the shoulder, while the second dimension describes the length of the shoulder, not the threads.
After conversion you should have remaining (3)
