Your new INCR A Bui ld-It System Sta rter Kit p rovides all of the Build-It System
components you’ll need to produce any of the 5 different beneficial jigs shown here.
This highly versatile collection of Jig and Fixture “building blocks”, along with the
included plans, will change the way you approach these and many other jig designs,
making it possible to produce in minutes what used to take hours or even days.
The Build-It System begins with INCR A’s Miter Slider adjustable aluminum runners. With
hundreds of thousands of units already in circulation, these tried and true jig and fixture
runners have become a workshop staple for the production of sliding and fixed base jigs.
But it’s the NEW INCR A B uild-It Pa nels and T-Slot Pa nel Connectors that put the punch in
this system. The B uild -It Panels are p re-cut a nd pre-drilled to instantly accept all of th e
compone nts of the system. You can ad d a Miter Slider in seconds and it’s autom atically
square to your saw blade with no tedious measuring or drilling required, then mo unt a
fence in moments using the counterbored mounting holes. The “glue” that holds ever ything
together is INCRA’s inn ova tive NEW T-Slot Panel Co nnector. These specially designed
aluminum components serve to simultaneously interconnect the panels and provide a
rock solid T-Slot for adding and holding jig accessories, fences, stops and Build-It Clamps.
With IN CR A’s NEW Build-It Modular Jig & Fixture Platform Sys tem you just connect the
par ts with a s crewdrive r a nd the inclu ded fastene rs. The possibilities are en dless!

t can be tricky tr ying to make the end grain coping cuts on the rails of a frame a nd panel door without this handy router table jig.
Just add:
• 18” T-Track Plus • Build- It Knobs • Build-It Clamp
During assembly the end of the backing board is aligned with the bearing on your coping cutter. Then, just position the end of your
rail flush with the end of the backer board for a perfect tearout-free coping cut. Add the T-Track Plus with a user made stop to make
cutting the opposite end of the first piece and any subsequent pieces of equal length a simple matter of clamp and cut. The Build-It
Clamp is required for this type of cut so don’t forget to pick one up from your local Incra dealer.
Add a M iter Slider and (2) T-Slot Panel Connec tors to a small Build-It Panel and place in the
miter slot at your router table. Adjust the Miter Slider to fit your slot. Cut a piece from another
Build-It Panel to fill the gap between the
existing assembly and your router collet.

anding end grain can be a chore. It’s difficult enough just because it’s the hardest part of the board to remove saw marks from. Add
to that the small surface area and you run into problems keeping the surface square and flat as you sand. This little sanding jig makes
handling pieces small and large a snap, taking advantage of the power sanding capabilities of a disc sander while providing support for
the workpiece. It can be used as a slider, allowing you to maintain even wear across the face of the sanding disc. If your pieces are
really small, you can lock the Miter Slider in place and just slide your work piece down the fence to the sanding disc.
Add a Miter Sl ider and (2) T-S lot Pa nel
Connectors to a small Build-It Panel and
place in the miter slot at your disc sander.
Adjust the Miter Slider to fit your slot. Cut
a piece from another Build-It Panel to fill
the gap between the existing assembly
and your sanding d isc. Cut th e slots in

on your disc
sander, yo u
should only

ometimes the simplest jig designs provide the best solutions to woodsho p cutting situations. Take this simple shooter board styled
squaring jig. While it doesn’t include the longer fence and stop positioning capabilities of the bridged crosscut box, it does provide
a quick and sure means of squaring the end of your workpiece in preparation for subsequent cut ting operations. A similar jig made
with the blade tilted to 45 degrees would be a great asset for mitered box making.
Sta rt by adding a Miter Slider to the l ine of mounting holes clo sest to the edge of a large Built-It Panel and adjust fo r a good fit in
your table saw’s miter slot. Add a T-Slot Panel Connector to the edge nearest the Miter Slider. With the Build-It assembly in your miter
slot, measure the distance between the T-Slot Panel Connector and the blade. Flip the assembly upside down and cut a section off
the U NUSED edge of the Bu il d-It Pan el
that is about 1/4” wider than your measure-
ment. Place the B uild-It as sembly back
in your miter slot and attach the cutoff
to the T-Slot Panel Connector. Now run
the assembly through the saw to trim the
jig to the blade. Using #8 x 1” pan head
wood screws with washers, attach a fence
to the trailing edge of the Build-It Panel.
Square the fence to the cut edge nearest
the blade before tightening the fasteners.

tenoning jig can be an extremely valuable tool at the table saw. Not only does it provide a carrier for narrow pieces when tenoning,

but with the vertical backstop removed, the jig can also be used for raised panel cutting. The sliding base provides plenty of range of
motion for positioning and locating your cuts, while the large 10” x 10” faceplate provides ample support and clamping area for the
largest of panels.
Begin by adding a Miter Slider to a small Build-It Panel. Place in your table saw’s miter slot and adjust for a good fit. If the blade tilt s
right, place it in the left hand miter slot. If the blade tilts left, place it in the right hand miter slot. Add a T-Slot Panel Connector to
each edge of the panel. Cut the slotted holes and grooves as shown on the (2) 10” x 10” x 3/4” thick panels. If you are using MDF,
you can cut the grooves with a 3/4” straight bit at your router table. If you are using plywood, remember it is often slightly undersized
so an unders ized “ply wood bit ” is
recommended for the cuts. The depth
of cut should be 1/4” and the fence to bit
distance is 5/8” for
all of the grooves.
