I have one. It's a good miter gauge. Sturdy and accurate for miters. It's pretty versatile for miters......nice for holding longer pieces for miters. It's a high end miter gauge, period!
The folding stop is a little bit touchy. The stop doesn't grip the groove in the extrusion real tight. Measure twice and cut once......or more times. Some things are better done with a croscut sled.
All in all, I would say it is worth the money. Looked at most of all the rest of them before I bought the Osborne. If you buy it, spend a little time reading the manual and tuning it after you take it out of the box.

I have it as well and agree with all the comments posted.
Funny you picked a tool store in MI, not far from my house. How did you find it?
BTW, I have the incra 1000se and really like it. The miter slot bar is a little short, but otherwise it's great. I don't have experience with the osborne though.
I have the dewalt equivalent that came with the 746 saw and it's "OK" I find that there is deflection in the extrusion when moving larger pieces. I stopped using it for when I need perfect 90 Deg cuts and built a cross cut sled - much better. I also found that the eccentric adjustment went out of wack every so often. Personally, I wouldn't pay $100 for it. Anything that is adjustable I tend to steer clear of. Build a sled.
I have it and I love it. All in all, it is better at woodworking than I am.
I like mine. The only complaint I have is the amount of time it takes to move from the left slot to the right.
:eusa_thin I dunno Jon, but that video has my eyes spinning. I just can't stop looking at it :lol:
