Vertical panel raising
Adjust infeed/outfeed fences to the
in-line/mid-range position as
described on page 5.
Use a straight edge to adjust the
Hi-Rise fence cap in line with the
infeed and outfeed fences. (See Fig. 1A
on page 2.)
Remember: Do not make the full
width of the cut in a single pass.
Instead, use several light side-by-side
passes, moving the fence back
1 ⁄ 16 " or
so after each pass.

IN-LINE FENCE APPLICATIONS
Once set to the in-line/mid-range
position as described on page 5, your
new INCRA Intelli-Fence can be used
for a variety of typical in-line fence
applications, including grooving,
dadoing, and edge forming operations such as rabbeting, chamfering, and
roundovers. You’ll also find the in-line
position useful for many specialty
operations. With the Hi-Rise fence cap,
you’ll be able to use vertical panel
raising bits to make raised panels for cabinetry, and since its design is
compatible with all INCRA joint-making
accessories, you’ll be able to use the
Intelli-Fence in conjunction with
your INCRA Jig Ultra or Pro as a
joint-making fence.
Vertical Panel Raising
The introduction of the vertical panel
raising bit has made cutting the reveal on
a raised panel a relatively simple
operation for the router table. You’ll find
your new Intelli-Fence, with its built-in
dust collection, adjustable fence gap,
and Hi-Rise fence cap, perfect for this
operation. The setup is as follows, Fig 12:
Install vertical panel raising bit and
set appropriate depth of cut.
Adjust fence gap as necessary
(see Gap Adjustment on page 5).

❒ Whenever using large diameter
vertical or horizontal panel
raising bits or any other large
diameter bit, always follow
that router bit manufacturer’s
operation and safety
recommendations.
❒ Whenever it is necessary to
remove large amounts of
stock, always use multiple
side-by-side passes to achieve
the final cut. Several shallow
cuts are safer and will yield
better results.
FIG. 11
INCRA Stop
When used in conjunction with your new
INCRA Intelli-Fence, the INCRA Stop
provides the same precise rack positioning
capabilities that made the INCRA Jig
famous. The sliding scale in the top of the
fence becomes a versatile reference for use
in setting stop positions at the router table.
The adjustable plastic stop permits micro
adjusting of the stop positions anywhere
between the
1 ⁄ 32 " tooth spacing on the
INCRA racks. The bi-directional design
allows the INCRA Stop to function on the
infeed or outfeed end of the fence with any
thickness of stock.

The fence bridge can be
mounted with either the narrow
or wide end in the opening
between the infeed and outfeed
fences. With the narrow end forward
the fence opening will be
5 ⁄ 8 ". This
opening is great for smaller joint
making bits like the
1 ⁄ 4 " and 3 ⁄ 8 "
straight or the 1 ⁄ 4 ", 5 ⁄ 16 ", and 3 ⁄ 8 "
dovetails. With the wider end of the
fence bridge forward the opening is
increased to 1
1 ⁄ 8 ", perfect for use
with larger dovetail bits.
FIG. 10
Fence bridge adjustment
The adjustable fence bridge is used during
joint making to provide support for narrow
vertically held stock as it is moved past the
opening between the infeed and outfeed
fences. For all other cutting operations the
fence bridge can be positioned behind the
front face of the Intelli-Fence and tightened
in place. For use during joint making, first
return the fences to the in-line/mid-range position described above. Loosen the
screws that secure the fence bridge and
slide it forward into the opening between
the fences. Adjust the fence gap as
described on page 5 to close the fence
ends on the bridge. Now use a straight
edge to locate the fence bridge flush with
the front face of the fence and tighten the
mounting screws. See Fig 10.
