Steve;
Which Incra fence do you have? Are you happy with it? I have the "reintroduced original" positioning jig and fence from Rockler and like it a lot (especially for 80 bucks) but it is limited in what it can handle. So I'm thinking of upgrading. Did you compare with the Jointech? If so why did you go with Incra?

pete
? should I have made this another thread?

Actually I have 2 of them I have This One in 25" length on my router table. I love it. It has the accuracy and repeatablity that I wanted. The funny thing is I have never made a dove tail or box joiint with it becuase I used the PC.

I considered the jointech, but have no real reason for choosing the incra over it. except perhaps name recognition.

But I was so pleased with it, that when I extended my tablesaw DeWalt 746x to over 50", I went with this setup

And end up with this

Very cool setup Steve
But that layout would take up my whole garage, er workshop!!!
Maybe now thta you've sold your PC you can make some dovetails with it. So far I've just made half blind's with mine but will be trying the corner post version this weekend.

Re: Incra System

Hi Pete

I've got the Incra LS Super 25" system mounted to a Wood Peckers router top & lift. I live in Charlotte near the University. If you'd like to stop by sometime and check it out, you are more than welcome. Just give me a buzz.

So far, I can say that I think it is really nice ... but I have not gotten the full use out of it yet.

Jeremy

Re: Incra System

That's a sweet setup, Steve!
That saw looks as though it's aching to have a cabinet under the right side...
