The seller sent me a unit that appears to be used. I asked for a replacement (via Amazon app) 2 weeks ago. To this day, no replacement or response from the seller. About the INCRA mitter gage itself, is very nice. In my opinion, the mitter bar is too short and flexible to hold the rest of the gage without additional support.

I bought this jig with the intention of making my milwaukee m18 into a precision tool. It works , to a degree. You won't get to absolute precision, because the saw is high precision built, but it is worth the investment if you can't afford a sawstop. I ended up buying an industrial sawstop cabinet saw at 10 times the cost of my milwaukee M18 job site saw. More after having to install 240 V electricity and all the extras. This jig will help you make precision cuts with a jobsite saw. You just need a sharp quality blade and an intimate understanding of your saw and its shortcomings. I guess you can make the same end product, one with an investment of time, and the other with an investment of money. Whichever you have more of, the end product ends up of comparable quality..

Recently set this up at work for a set of cabinet faces. It made quick and accurate work for the repeated cross cuts of rail and style cabinet faces as well as repeatable rebate cuts for the panels. Overall super pleased with the device.Set aside about 3 hours to really dial this thing in. There’s an excessive number of ways to adjust the various stops on the tool, so you will need patience and accuracy to get it dialed in. I lightly glued the slidable ruler on top in place with a little CA glue once I had it tuned.My one issue with the jig’s performance stems from a different issue. While the jig comes with various washers to fill up the negative space in the table saw’s T-track for a tight fit, our saw’s t-track isn’t especially straight. I never noticed this while using my home made crosscut sled because the sled registers both t-tracks at a time instead of just one like this jig. Make sure your t-track is straight, or you’ll get play in the jig like I have. If you do have play, you’ll be limited to cross cuts that are only a few inches wide to maintain your accuracy.5 stars. It’s worth more than it costs for sure.

Without question, Incra tooling is the best. Properly set up, the results are stunning, and as tools, they are a pleasure to use. Repeatability and accuracy are unmatched. I purchased most of my Incra system components directly from Incra via Incremental Tools and the twelve to fifteen week lead time was a bit hard to accept. However, once received and used, all was forgotten and forgiven. I purchased this Incra Miter3000SE from Yellowhammer Tool Works and received it in two days. Now, that is the type of delivery time I have grown to expect. Good folks to do business with. The Miter as a tool is extremely accurate, and well made. I would certainly recommend all Incra systems to anyone wanting to have the finest tools in their shop. DRG...

I did a lot of research on miter gauges before purchasing the 3000se. After deciding on the Incra brand, I spent a long time deciding whether to go with the 1000hd or the 3000se. What ultimately made my decision was the the 3000se had a longer fence and the fine adjustment was more robust than the 1000hd, which I have read can easily be bent or knocked out of adjustment if bumped or dropped, due to the 1000hd having one degree increments machined directly onto the protractor scale. The 3000 has 5 degree increments (plus positive increments at 22.5°) machined into the protractor scale, which allows for a "beefier" engagement notch, and has a secondary scale that allows you to make adjustments in whole or half degree increments as necessary.Assembly was straightforward, all I had to do was remove a 7/16" head hex bolt (which makes it a 1/4-20 bolt I believe), adjust 6 screws to size it to the miter slot in my table saw, and check it for square against the blade using a machinist's square. My gauge was dead on out of the box, but the manual provides instructions (loosening 3 screws and adjusting the gauge accordingly) if the gauge is out of square or becomes out of square. The dual flip stop is really useful for cutting stock to length using one stop (furthest from the blade) and then locating tenon shoulders using the other stop (closest to the blade).I think that this gauge will do everything and more than I need, but I'm sure if you paired it up with the miter express, you wouldn't ever have to build a crosscut sled or tablesaw jigs again. Pairing these two would also allow you to stiffen up the fence (I haven't experienced any flex in mine, but some others have mentioned it) as well as using hold downs and other jigs in the t-track, but personally, I don't have a need for that yet.I will update this review if I experience any issues, but I have no complaints and am really happy with this gauge so far.
