Kreg precision miter gauge

[Willemjm]

Anyone have one of these and satisfied with it?

Have always gotten by just fine with the standard miter gauge which came with my old Grizzy 10” table saw.

After cutting a bunch of miters on 7” wide stock yesterday, I was thinking of perhaps upgrading.

I have one and I am not satisfied. The aluminum bar is too long at 24 inches. I cut about 8 inches off so I could also use it on my router table. In addition the machined angled pin always falls out when I hang it up. Fine Woodworking just did a review of about 15 miter gauges in the last issue. The Kreg did not fare all that well in the rankings and was towards the bottom in accuracy. The Rocker miter gage with fence extension fared much better and is on my Xmas list. That probably answers your question.

I have the Incra mitre gauge and absolutely love it. It is probably 12-years old now and is as repeatable as it gets.

I've used one of the Incra miter gauges on my table saw for years. It came with two bars, a short and long. I only use the short one on the miter gauge, and turned the long bar into an extended fence for my miter saw setup. The thing I like most about the Incra gauge is the ease with which you can set it to any angle to within a half of a degree. Most of the time mine stays on 90 degrees, but it's a nice feature when you need it. Having a longer bar than the typical out-of-the-box miter gauge is nice as well, but that could be solved by screwing on a piece of wood.

Another happy Incra miter gauge owner. Mine is the Miter 1000SE and I have used it on my SawStop since 2008. I do not think they still make it. I think the current model is the 1000DH.

I have the Incra V27. You can't go wrong for $80.

I had a piece of MDF on it but eventually bought this 18" fence. I wouldn't buy it again. I paid a lot less than $47 for it back then, but now there are some really nice, versatile fences for not much more money.

Another vote for the Incra 1000SE. Bought mine from Woodcraft (hence rebranded “Woodcraft” w/sticker) about 17 years ago. It’s been great!

this is exactly my experience- too long, pin is lost, and the guage is idle.

What pin are you talking about? I must have an older model. I'm not aware of any pin.

+1 happy with my Incra.....

The brass pin which locks in the angles (stops)

Ditto - It is adjustable, so be sure you get it square before you begin using it.
