Unplug your table saw and remove the existing fence, including the front and rear support rails, mounting brackets, and the blade guard.
Note: The blade guard must be reinstalled after you have fin­ished mounting the INCRA TS II to your table saw.
Attach mounting brackets
Attach (4) mounting brackets to the cast iron surface of your table saw using the supplied hardware. See Fig. 1. The Mounting Bracket Hardware Pack contains a variety of fasteners which will work with most table saws. Use the largest bolts in the pack that will fit your saw’s existing mounting holes. If the holes in your table saw are threaded, use the bolt/washer arrangement shown in Detail 1A. If the mounting holes are not threaded, use the bolt/washer/nut arrangement shown in Detail 1B. Position the mounting brackets 1⁄4" below the table top as shown in Details 1A and 1B and snug the fasteners to hold the brackets in place. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AT THIS TIME. (Discard any remaining fasteners from the Mounting Bracket Hardware Pack.)
Loosely attach rail bolts
Open the Rail Hardware Pack. Add a 3⁄8" flat washer
to each of (4) 3⁄8–16 x 3⁄4" hex bolts. Place the bolts through the holes in the mounting brackets and loosely attach the 3⁄8–16 rectangular nuts. See Fig. 2 above.
Slide rails onto mounting
brackets and tighten bolts
Carefully slide the rails onto the mounting brackets so that the rectangular nuts are captured in the T-slot on the bottom of the rail. Fig. 3 shows the correct orientation for the front and back rails. Approximately center the length of the rails on your table saw and tighten the mounting bolts that secure the rails to the brackets.

Add a 1⁄4" thick nylon washer to each screw, then loosely thread on hex nuts.Place (2) #10–32 x 3⁄4" truss head screws through the two inside holes located in the middle of the Ultra’s base. Do not place a #10 washer on the truss head screws. (Truss head screws have a larger head diameter than pan head screws.) Add a
1
4" thick nylon washer to the screws underneath the base and thread on hex nuts. Slide the hex nuts on all six screws into the T-slots on the base support bars. The screws through the slotted holes will fit into the outer T-slots. The truss head screws will fit into the inner T-slots. See Fig. 10 and Detail 10A.The 1⁄4" nylon washers will hold the Ultra 1⁄4" above the support bars.
Center the Ultra on the base support bars’ length. (Edge of Ultra should be about 105⁄8" from end of bars.) Use a square to align the Ultra base at 90° to the support bars and tighten the screws installed in the slotted holes only. Do not tighten the truss head screws at this time. Slide the hex nuts on the remaining base clamp into the T-slots on the support bars.

Align base mount assembly parallel to miter slot
Take the base mount assembly to the table saw and as you lower the base mount onto the rails, position the (4) clamping knob assemblies directly under the slots in the base clamps. Slide the base assembly along the rails to position the nearest support bar at 20" from the miter slot, Fig.11. Take a measurement at both ends of the bar. Loosen the phillips head screws that hold the base clamps as necessary to align the bar parallel to the miter slot. Tighten the four base clamping knobs, then tighten all eight screws that secure the base clamps to the base support bars.
Set final base assem­bly position
Loosen the (4) base clamping knobs and slide the base assembly to locate the near side support bar at 30” from the saw blade. See Fig. 12. Tighten the clamping knobs in place. Using a
3
16" hex tool, tighten the (4) set screws through the holes located in the base clamps. Slide the (2) stop posi­tioners up against the base clamps as shown and tighten the hex bolts. Should you ever need to remove the base assembly from your table saw, these stop positioners will allow you to return to the original setup in seconds.

Important: If you have not already done so, read the opera­tions section of your INCRA Jig Ultra owner’s manual (pages 6 and 7) to familiarize yourself with the clamping and micro adjust functions of the Ultra before continuing.
Slide Ultra carriage into base
Slide your Ultra’s carriage into the base and position the fence mounting bracket approximately in line with the two nearest rail mounting brackets. Lock the carriage in place. See Fig. 13.
Loosely attach TS II fence
Place a5⁄8" o.d.(gold) washer on each of (2)#10–32 x 1" phillips pan head screws and insert the screws through the holes in the back of the fence mounting bracket. Loosely attach the #10–32 rectangular nuts to the screws, then slide the fence onto the rectangular nuts as shown in Fig. 14. Position the end of the fence nearest to the operator about 31⁄2" in front of the table’s edge. Do not tighten the fence mounting screws at this time.
Attach fence glides
Place one of the supplied 3⁄4" x 3" cardboard spacers under each end of the fence as shown in Fig. 15 and attach the two fence glides to the rear of the fence using the
1
4 –20 x 1⁄2" socket head cap screws, 1⁄4" washers and
1
4– 20 square nuts. See Detail 15A. The glide with the black thumbscrew mounts on the operator’s side of the saw. Align the glides flush with the rails before tightening the fas­teners. Remove and save the cardboard spacers.
Tighten fence mounting screws
Unlock the carriage and slide the fence about 15" away from the blade. Make sure the fence glides are still aligned flush with the rails, then tighten the two fence mounting screws.Take care not to raise or lower the fence mounting bracket as you tighten the screws.
Engage anti-lift rail hooks
Lock the carriage clamp, then turn the black thumbscrew on the front fence glide counterclockwise to lower the rail hook into the T-slot on the rail. Look into the T-slot as you lower the hook. When the hook passes the lip on the T-slot, slide the black thumbscrew toward the table saw to position the hook under the lip. See Fig. 16. Now turn the thumbscrew clockwise to raise the hook. The hook can be adjusted to limit fence lift by turning the thumbscrew clockwise. During cutting operations,
always tighten the thumbscrew in addition to locking the carriage clamp to provide absolute lockdown of the fence position.
To engage the rear rail hook, walk to the rear of the saw and using a
3
16" hex tool, lower the hook into the T-slot on the rail. Slide the fastener back to position the hook under the T-slot lip, then turn the fastener clock­wise to adjust the lift limit. Allow the fence to lift no more than 1⁄32". It is
not necessary to tighten the rear rail hook before making a cut.

FINAL CALIBRATION

Important: As with any table saw fence, accurate calibration and alignment require that the saw blade be aligned parallel to the miter slots. If you are uncertain about your saw blade/miter slot alignment, consult your table saw’s owner’s manual for information on how to check and set this important alignment.
Calibration – Right Side of Saw Blade
Align fence parallel to miter slot and tighten Ultra’s mounting screws
Unlock the carriage clamp, then slide the fence up to the nearest miter slot and clamp in place. Loosen the (4) screws that secure the Ultra’s base to the base support bars and align the fence parallel to the miter slot. See Fig.17. Make sure during this align­ment that the fence glides remain flush with the rails. Retighten the (4) screws. Now unlock and slide the carriage forward far enough to allow access to the (2) truss head screws in the middle of the Ultra’s base and tighten these in place.
Important: If it becomes necessary to realign the fence in the future, make sure to loosen all (6) base mounting screws.
Zero fence to saw blade
With the table saw unplugged, raise the saw blade about 2" and slide the fence for­ward until just before it contacts the blade (to within less than 1⁄32"). Place your Ultra in the micro adjust mode as described on page 7 of your Ultra’s owner’s manual and micro adjust the fence forward until it “kisses” the saw blade, Fig. 18. Release the micro adjust lever and lock the carriage in place.
Note: After micro adjusting, re-zero the scale on the micro adjust knob by rotating the scale (not the knob) to return to zero under the micro cursor.
Set scale position
With the Ultra still locked at the “zeroed” position set above, slide the middle (0"-16") scale in the scale slot to position 0" under the hairline cursor. Unlock and move the carriage to read 16" under the cursor, then lock the carriage in place. Now slide the shorter (16"-25") overlapping scale to also read 16" under the hairline cursor. See Fig 19. Take care not to move the longer scale when you slide the shorter, overlapping scale into place.

Fence
Calibration – Left side of saw blade
Moving your TS II to the left side of the blade can be quite useful, especially on table saws which have a blade tilt to the right. This feature makes bevel cuts on opposing edges of a panel safe and easy since the blade tilts away from rather than toward the fence. The setup is easy.
Note: If your table saw blade tilts to the left, calibration on the left side of the blade is not necessary. Remove the (4) dual pilot rectangular nuts and stop positioners slid into the left end of the rail earlier.
Place Ultra on the rails to the left
of saw blade
Unscrew the (4) base clamping knobs and thread the knobs into the dual pilot rectangular nuts slid into the left end of the rails in step 6 on page 5. Disengage the rail hooks from the T-slots on the rails and lift the Ultra off of the table. Carry the unit to the left end of your table saw and as you lower the base mount onto the rails, position the (4) clamp­ing knob assemblies directly under the slots in the base clamps. Position the rear edge of the base mount assembly approximately flush with the rail ends and tighten the clamping knobs on the rear rail only, Fig. 20.
Align fence parallel to miter slot
and tighten clamping knobs and
set screws
Unlock carriage and slide the fence to the miter slot on your table saw. Align the fence parallel to the miter slot by shift­ing the base clamp on the front rail. Once the fence is set parallel to the miter slot, tighten all base clamping knobs. Then using a 3⁄16" hex tool, tighten the (4) set screws through the holes located in the base clamps, Fig.21.
Zero fence to left side of saw blade
Unlock the carriage and move the fence to within less than 1⁄32" from the saw blade. Place the Ultra in micro adjust mode and micro adjust the fence forward until it “kisses” the saw blade, Fig. 22. After micro adjust­ing, release the micro adjust lever and lock the carriage in place.
Note: Whenever you return the Ultra to operation on the right side of the blade, remember to micro adjust the fence back to a zero reading on the micro adjust scale.
Set scale and stop positions
Slide the extra (0"–16") scale in the scale slot and position the 0” mark under the hairline cursor. Now slide the remaining (2) stop positioners up to the base clamps and tighten the hex bolts. Once these stops are set, you’ll be able to return easily to your left hand setup anytime,
Fig.23. Important: With right and left calibrations now complete,
reinstall blade guard and all safety equipment removed pre­viously. Raise the saw blade and tilt to 45° to check for clearance between the blade guard and the rear rail assem­bly. If the rear rail interferes with the blade guard, you must follow the instructions set out in the Blade Guard Adjustments section of this manual.

If you wish to add a 3⁄4" thick table board between the right hand extension wing of your table saw and the TS II base mount assembly, begin by making the wooden supports shown in Fig. 26. For the length of the support, measure the distance between your extension wing and the base mount assembly. Loosely attach the fasteners through the holes in the supports. Remove the base assembly from your saw, then slide the square nuts into the inside T-slots on each rail, Detail 26A. Cut a table board to fit and screw to the supports. The oversize holes in the support should allow range for positioning the table board flush with your table saw top.
If, after reinstalling the blade guard and tilting the motor, you find that the rear rail interferes with the blade guard, you must add the two remaining rail mounting brackets and split the rear rail to provide the necessary clearance as shown in Fig. 24. Begin by removing the base mount assembly. Loosen the bolts that secure the rear rail to the existing brackets and slide the rail off. Reinstall the blade guard, then locate the positions for the additional rail mounting brackets on either side of the blade guard. The mounting brackets should be placed as close as possible to the blade guard, but before drilling the mounting holes, make sure to check the positions for clearance when the blade is tilted to 45°. When you have found the mounting bracket locations, drill a 3⁄8" diameter hole in the center of each position. The center of the hole should be about 11⁄8" below the table top.
Remove blade guard, then using 3⁄8–16 x 11⁄2" hex bolts, nuts and washers, attach the extra mounting brackets loose­ly in place. Install the rail bolts as shown in Fig. 2 on page 4, then slide the rear rail back into position. Tighten all rail mounting bolts, then tighten the two bolts that secure the brackets to your table saw. Use a hacksaw to make a cut through he rear rail about halfway between the two addition­al rail mounting brackets. Loosen the bolts that secure the rails to the brackets and slide the rails to create an opening large enough to reinstall the blade guard. See Fig.25. Again, tilt the blade to 45° to check for clearance. Once the rail positions are established, sand or file the cut ends of the rails to remove any sharp edges. Tighten the bolts that secure the rails, then repeat the alignment and calibrations starting with Step 4 on page 7.

4–20 mounting screws, washers, and square nuts. Dr ill and counterbore your wooden fence to recess the screw heads and capture the nuts in the T-slot as shown in Fig.27. Hole centers should be located 13⁄4" from the bottom edge of the wooden fence. T-slots in the top of the fence are provided to attach hold downs or other user­made fixtures. Use 1⁄4– 20 fasteners and square nuts for these T-slots as well.

MAINTENANCE

Your TS II is designed to give many years of virtually main­tenance-free operation. In fact, just keeping your TS II clean is all you need to do to keep the tool in top shape. Occasionally, remove the carriage from the base and brush or blow out any sawdust or debris that may have accumulat-
ed. Use a toothbrush to clean the teeth on the INCRA racks on both the carriage and the base. A light application of paste wax to the top of the rails from time to time will keep the rails smooth and clean.
