Tyler Hicken Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Can anyone tell me about this Inca table saw? My research has turned up nothing useful. Thanks http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=35738373&cat=&s_cid=rss-classifieds- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did you search in Google. My search "inca table saw" returned 8 conversations about this saw or saw maker from other forums I will not link to here out of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 That looks like a French made version of the 280 or 290 tilting arbor saw. Inca is no longer in business and parts can be hard to find. I would contact Jesse at Eagle Tools in Los Angeles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Z. Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 That is an Inca 10 inch tilting arbor saw. Manual can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/exyq6/embed#0 I have several Inca tools, and can't say enough good about them. Jesse can give you more details. Something odd I noticed. I have a 1992 Garrett Wade catalog that states that the 10 inch tilting arbor saws are no longer available. Yet that one is dated 1996. Wonder how it got here? There is an Inca Yahoo group. They will be able to give you a lot of detail Of course, at that price, someone there will probably buy it quickly. If I were anywhere near SLC, I would grab it. Heck, I might have one of my friends in SLC grab it. That's an incredibly precise saw, and will outperform just about any contractor saw currently on the market.

Tyler Hicken Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks for the information. Brendon, Google was of course my first recourse but all I could find were topics on smaller saws that weren't the same as the one for sale. I couldn't find any that resembled this saw. I think I will go and look at the saw tomorrow and see if it is in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Z. Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Try instead googling on the model number on the data plate. There's still little information on that particular saw, but it will get you past most of the references to the Tilting Table saws. Inca had a great reputation for making quality tools for home shops... but quality costs, and that was their biggest downfall. In the US, they had one importer (Garrett Wade), with Eagle Tools serving as their shipper in the west. In Canada, it was Lee Valley. One of my searches came up with old catalogs from the 80s and 90s. You'll see what I mean about price. But I have a 10 inch bandsaw with which I've re-sawn five inch mahogany and cherry, and I wouldn't give it up even if I got a larger capacity saw.

Vyrolan Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Micks, you mean in the table saw building business?Are you confusing Inca (tools imported from Europe) and Incra (makers of super precise stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weithman5 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 i have an inca jointer/planer combo in my father's barn that i have yet to bring back. i just remember my mother complaining that it was expensive. especially since he already had a jointer.

Mick S Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wow, the Quote thingy is going wild.Tim - To the best of any knowledge the original Swiss Inca Injecta company stopped making machinery for woodworking in the early '90s. A French firm took over their designs, but I don't believe they're making anything either. I'm referring to Inca Injecta, not Incra as in Incra Jig, fence, miter gauge, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
