Is the INCRA Miter1000/HD Miter Gauge to be used on the left side of the tablesaw blade only? Can you use it on the RIGHTSIDE of the blade?

It's for both left and right. I can use it only to the right of the blade on my 60 year old Craftsman saw because it's too wide to use on the left side.

Jerome, The miter 1000/HD can be used on either side of the blade. It comes set up for the left side, but instructions detail how to convert it for use on the right side of the blade.

It can be used on either side as it's "Ambidextrous" Just use care when setting it up. Good Luck.

You can use / configure it in any miter slot, right or left side. It's aluminum extrusion, t-slot style that is very flexible...

Two totally different saws. Using a straight edge and a circular saw works but is a major PITA. I believe the heart to any home work shop is a table saw and my miter saw. Figure out how to own both and you will never regret the purchase. Let your wife read this post!

I'm not familiar with a craftsman band saw. I set it up on a Bosch router table and am very pleased. Its a nice mitre gage. It really shouldn't matter as long as its set to the narrowest point in your T-Track. Slide it in the T-track and expand the gage with the provided hex key. That's going to take patience, because the hex key will seem like its going to break putting so much force on it. Once its set up.....sweet!

I have the Incra MITER1000SE. It fits the groove and works well. Most cuts I still use the miter gauge that comes with the saw though. The MITER1000SE is overkill I think.

I have a Dewalt dw745 and I am using a Incra 1000 miter gauge with it. Works fine. A lot better than the JUNK that came with it.

Well it do sent matter if the tablesaw is level because the saw blade angle is set relative to the table. This works really well. I was able to set the angles to cut crown molding flat which involves some precise angle alignment. Just set the base setting on the table then stick it to the blade and adjust it to the right angle

No problem with blade deflection. I'm using the Chopmaster on a 12" Bosch model 5412L sliding compound miter saw. 45 degree cuts are spot on. I think there's more risk of deflection in the saw itself, and I'm careful not to put side pressure on the head of the saw when it's extended.

I never tried to use this for wood. It is purpose designed for metal, and is not set up for the accurate miters you would get with a miter saw for interior trim, etc. For metal, it is a great tool though. I believe it also turns at a lower rpm than most woodsaws, so I don't think you could just change out the blade.

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.

No, I can't. I returned mine because it would not work with my left tilt saw. I suggest that he contact Incra.

The saw has the standard miter slot. The Bosch 4000 did not have the T slot cut in the bottom of the miter slot. However, the 4100 does. I don't have an Incra gage, but I believe any of Incra's line of miter gages would use the standard 3/8 x 3/4 miter slot dimension. The according to their spec, the Incra 1000 HD for example works with or without the 15/16" T at the bottom of the miter slot. Note also the 1000 HD has some width adjustment to fit snugly in the miter slot.

Hello J. I have only used it for my table saw. I don't see why you couldn't fashion something for the jointer.. This jig fits in a miter slot so it's well suited for table saw. Get your self a dial indicator and make one. This jig is awesome for tuning up the table saw. You might keep looking for jointer alignment.

Check the width and depth of the miter slots on the saw; it should fit. Most high-quality table saws, unless they have T-slot miter grooves, should be able to accept the Incra miter gauges. My personal experience was with a less-expensive table saw with a shallow T-slot groove. Incra's terse response to my query about how to adapt was "We do not make custom slides." That put me off a bit, but I milled my own slide and am happy with the accuracy and quality of the rest of the gauge overall.

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.

Probably not as it cuts bevels up to 50 or 55(left and right), and on miter cuts you get 50 to the left and 60 to the right . It is a beautiful saw with little tweaks that you can make to it to customize it to your touch! They have put a lot of thought into all the details that come with this saw and it shows from the very 1st cut you make.

I can't see why it wouldn't fit. The Incra V120 has expansion disks that allow it to fit any miter slot that I've ever seen. It's way better than the miter gauges that come standard with table saws.
