INCRA Ultra Lite - Manual

OWNER’S MANUAL
Please read this Owner’s Manual before
use and keep it at hand for reference.
In the few years since its first appearance in
woodworking shops around the globe, Incra
Jig has quickly established itself as the finest
and most versatile woodworking system
available. At the top of its list of features has always
been its unparalleled positioning accuracy. As a fence
system, Incra Jig’s amazing precision allows precise fence
placement to within a few thousandths of an inch, regardless of
your skill level. As a joint making machine, these same positioning
capabilities permit an endless variety of box joints and half blind, through
and sliding dovetails to be created. And with decorative joints like the exquisite
Incra Double Dovetail (described in the optional
Incra Master Reference Guide
and Template Library ), Incra Jig makes the impossible quite possible.
Introducing the newest member of the Incra family: The Incra Jig Ultra Lite . With built-in micro
adjusting, velvet smooth tracking, and the Incra heritage of precision, your new Incra Jig Ultra Lite
combines some of the best features of its big brother, the Incra Jig Ultra, in a refined, more compact
unit perfect for the router table or drill press. The Ultra Lite carries on the tradition of performance and
accuracy you’ve come to expect from the Incra line of precision tools.
