MJC Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Ok before I order this I am getting the 1000 HD and it is $299.99 plus they gave me a code for 10% off. Sound like a good price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Looks like Rockler has the 1000hd for $170. https://www.rockler.com/incra-miter-1000hd-miter-gauge Or did you mean the 3000/3000se, https://www.grizzly.com/products/Incra-Miter-3000-Special-Edition/H7480?gclid=Cj0KCQiA04XxBRD5ARIsAGFygj-8PTfnQHp_q6gooiprZHMgVz30Axepjx1x2ijQbxzAh-yz2-stPdIaAnwhEALw_wcB Or for the same $300 the 5000, https://www.rockler.com/incra-miter-5000-sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 That doesn't include the sled and is only the miter gauge. If you check out the link you can see the options and what is included. https://www.incrementaltools.com/INCRA_Miter_Gauge_Combos_p/me-mgcombo.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a good price? The 1000 HD is $170 and the miter express is $170 so yeah it's a decent savings expicalyl with 10% off. Gives you the benefits of a sled or miter guage for esentailly the same price as the 5000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I had been watching Incremental Tools for a good while, and never saw a code, or discount more than 10%, for either new customer signing up for their email alerts, or holiday discounts and such, but never the two together. Even worse for Carter Bandsaw Products, but so far, haven't found any discount on their stuff. In short, if you get 10 off, that's about as good as you're going to do.

MJC Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks guys! The code they gave me and I don't know if this works with any purchase but it is WTEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I think that's the one for new customers who subscribe to their emails. It's only good for one use, but for the whole first order. I was in the bad place as a new customer, the same time they had their Holiday code too, and could only use one, and then the other won't be good unless they do the same next Christmas.

Mark J Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 The 1000HD looks to be capable of more precision than the 3000SE (or the 1000SE), but they have the 3000SE priced much higher? What's the advantage (if any) to the 3000SE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I don't remember the details, but if I'm remembering correctly, the 3000 has many more stops, and a finer adjustment. Maybe the arm is longer too. Anyway, once I make a decision, I don't bother to remember the details. I bought the 3000SE. https://www.incrementaltools.com/category_s/203.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though IIRC you can add extended arms to the 1000HD as well. I'd have to check accessories to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I had the little DeWalt saw built onto the end of my workbench for a while. Loved the rack and pinion fence; all saws could use that system I bought the Inca 120 muter gauge then later added their fence to it, costs around $200 all told, I think. And my CC sled is simple, here it is leaning against the wall trapped by a cart on its side; I don’t use it that much. It’s plywood, and the fence is plywood as well, for stability.

wtnhighlander Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Funny, the only two saws I know of, that come with a rack & pinion fence, are Dewalt, and Northfield...seems to be a gap, there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 You know I forgot to post on here about this. I got my Incra cross cut sled and I am a little pissed off. Monday they will be getting a call from me. So they said there would be a few weeks lead time which that’s fine I started making one. Then it shows up a few days later which ok that’s great. Well last night when I start putting it together I notice that parts of it look like old stuff mixed with new! I mean the old stuff was even dirty like they dug it out from a corner some place and threw it in my box. The aluminum doesn’t even match and looks like I have stuff patched together. To spend that kind of money on something like that and get crap slapped together it left a bad taste in my mouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Be careful with that miter gauge fence on the SawStop. Seems a lot more triggers happen from accidental contact with aluminum fences, than with fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This almost sounds like it was returned by a customer and somehow ended back up in their inventory. I have found Incra's customer service to be real helpful, I am sure hey will be more then willing t replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legenddc Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I emailed Incra once and the VP of sales responded well outside of working hours. I think they’ll stand behind it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I dropped my Incra miter gauge pretty hard one day and the teeth on the protractor part got bent at zero. I don't remember what the replacement cost was; I never thought to ask them for warranty because it was my own clumsiness that caused it. But it was easy to fix. The fence was fine, but the way it hit put all the pressure on the lock and teeth. I filed the lock and put the new protractor on it.
