INCRA Jig - Manual

1
Since its first appearance in woodworking shops around the globe many years
ago, INCRA Jig has 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 exact 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 all styles of dovetails to be
created. And with decorative joints like the exquisite INCRA Double Dovetail (described in the INCRA Master Reference
Guide and Template Library sold separately), INCRA Jig makes the seemingly impossible quite possible.
