Assembly and Calibration

1. Attach Clamping Knob and T-Clip

Remove the hex bolt that secures the protractor head and replace with the large threaded knob included in the hardware pack. The washer on the hex bolt must be used with the threaded knob, Fig. 1. If the Miter slot in your table saw has a T-slot, attach the T-clip to the end of the miter bar as shown in Fig. 2.

2. Adjust the Miter Bar

Loosen the (2) fasteners that secure the fence to the fence-mounting bracket and remove the fence. Adjust the miter bar at each of the (3) expansion mechanism

locations in the miter bar for a good t in your table

saw’s miter slot. Turning the screw clockwise expands the mechanism. You’ll nd (2) of the expansion locations in front of the protractor. Adjust these (2) front

expansion points rst, expanding a little at each of the

locations until the bar slides smoothly, Fig. 3.

Remove the large clamping knob with washer and pivot the protractor head to gain access to the rear expansion point, Fig. 4. After adjustment, replace the washer and large clamping knob.

4. Left or Right of Blade

Your new Miter1000SE fence is factory congured for

use to the left of the blade. If you prefer to use your Miter1000SE in the right hand miter slot just follow the steps below.

Loosen the

-20 socket head screw located at the

end of the 14” section of the fence, then slide out the 4” section of fence along with the attached extender bar. Move the socket head screw, washer and rectangular nut to the hole on the opposite end of the fence. Slide the extender bar assembly into the end of fence, capturing the rectangular nut in the T-slot on the extender bar. The higher numbers on the extender bar scale should be closest to the saw blade. Loosen the (2) socket head fasteners that secure the 4” section of fence and reverse it. Tighten all fasteners, Fig 6. Slide the scale in the top of the fence out and replace with the included reverse reading (0-14”) scale.

This one time c alibr a t ion pre pares your INCR A Miter1000SE for work in either miter slot. Just remember that the accuracy of the INCRA Miter1000SE at any subsequent setting is dependent upon the accuracy of your initial 90° calibration. Verify this important

calibration with a test cut and ne tune as necessary.

TIP

Squaring the fence to your table saw top

e method used to join the fence-mounting bracket to the protractor head makes it easy to ﬁne-tune the fence perfectly perpendicular to your tabletop. To adjust, loosen the (3) socket head screws that secure the bracket and slide a paper shim between the bracket and the protractor head. Placing the shim behind the screws will decrease the angle. Placing the shim in front of the screws will increase the angle.

Loosen the actuator thumbscrew and pivot the ac tuator tooth away from the notches located on the perimeter of the protractor head. Loosen the large clamping knob and rotate the protractor head and fence to the desired angle, Fig. 9. Then rmly engage the tooth on the actuator with the corresponding notch on the protractor head. The actuator tooth should point directly to the desired angle on the scale. Tighten the large clamping knob, then tighten the actuator thumbscrew, Fig. 10.

2 . C o nt i n uo u s A dj u st m e n ts (f o r a ng l e

settings ner than 5° increments)

Pivot the actuator tooth away from the notches on the protractor head, aligning the arm over the miter bar, and tighten the thumbscrew. Now loosen the small nylon thumbscrew on the actuator and pivot the

10° vernier cursor toward the scale. Rotate the cur-

sor until it is aligned edge to edge with the scale and tighten the thumbscrew. When you change miter angles, just align the desired angle on the scale with

the “0” cursor line, Fig. 11. For use the alignments as described in the

10° adjustments,

INCRA M ITE R100 0S E OWNER’S MANUAL

Flip Fence and Flip Shop Stop - Calibration and Operation

As you look at your new INCRA Flip Shop Stop and

Flip Fence for the rst time you will see an interesting

detail. The front face of the fence uses a tongue and groove arrangement to accept a mating feature on the

ip arms, Fig. 12. When the ip arm is down with

the two opposing features engaged, it becomes im possible for the sharp corner of a mitered board end to wedge between the fence and ip arm. Combined with INCRA’s famous incremental positioning capabilities, you’ll soon be duplicating cut off lengths with machine shop precision.

Zeroing the Fence Scales

To zero the main fence scale for 90° work, rst set

the protractor to the 0° setting and lock in place. Clamp the Flip Shop Stop to the fence so that the 0” mark on the fence scale reads directly under the end of the gold component of the Flip Shop Stop, Fig. 13. Now loosen the (2)

-20 socket head screws that

secure the fence to the fence mounting bracket and slide the fence toward the blade until the Flip Arm on the stop contacts the blade. Re-tighten the fasteners,

Fig. 13A.

For stopped cuts beyond the range of the main fence you’ll need to calibrate the extender bar scale. Clamp the INCRA Flip Shop Stop to the 4” fence extender. (Use the scale on the short section of fence as a reference for clamping the stop to the same position each time you

use it.) Now loosen the

-20 socket head screw located at the end of

the longer fence and slide the 4” fence and extender bar out . Use

a tape measure to set the distance between the blade and the ip arm

at 16” and re-tighten the fastener, Fig. 14. Now simply slide the scale in the extender bar to read 16” at the end of the longer main fence section, Fig. 14A.

INCRA M ITE R100 0S E OWNER’S MANUAL

For mitered cutting, a test cut is often the most accurate means of setting the fence and extender bar scales since measuring to the tooth of a blade set at

an angle to the fence can be difcult. Begin by setting

the desired miter angle and check for safe clearance between the fence and blade. Clamp the stop to the fence about 10” away from the blade. Miter a piece of scrap stock with this setup. Measure the length of the cut piece, Fig. 14B. Then simply slide the scale on the fence to read the length of the cut directly under one end of the stop.

Micro Adjusting

To micro adjust your Flip Shop Stop’s position, begin by loosening the (2) socket head screws located on the top of the stop body. Now turn the micro adjust socket head screw to fine tune the stop position, Fig. 15. When unscrewing the micro adjust screw, apply pressure to the stop body to keep it against the screw end. After adjustment, always tighten the (2) socket head screws on top of the stop body.

Flip Arms and Stop Rods

The dual ip arms and stop rods provide a variety of stop congurations. The ip arms can be used without

the stop rods when you want to take advantage of the fence/arm tongue and groove feature for stop control on mitered board ends. Typically, you will use the longer rod to join the two arms together, Fig. 16. This produces an arrangement that, when pivoted, moves both arms simultaneously. The rod can be positioned so that it is the actual stop surface or it can be positioned slightly behind the front of the arm so that the aluminum arm is the actual stop surface.

By placing one of the shorter 1-

” rods in each of the

two stop arms, you can use the two stop arms independently, Fig. 17. For example, you can calibrate one for work to the left of the blade and the other for work to the right. On one side of the blade you might want to position the stop rods to provide two different cut off lengths from one stop position. By using varying combinations of long or short rods you can create as much as 7-

” between the two stop

positions.
