Adjust the Miter Bar for a Perfect Fit in Your Miter Channel

1

Place the V27 in your tool’s
Miter Channel. NOTE: If the
miter channel does not have
a T-slot, remove and save the
Retaining T-clip and screw lo­cated at the end of the miter
bar as shown in Figure 1.

2

Using the supplied 3/32” hex key, adjust each of the (3) visible miter bar
expansion disks for a zero-side play, sliding t in your miter channel as shown
in Figure 2. Turning the fastener clockwise EXPANDS the bar width. The disks
are designed to require a fair amount of adjustment torque for proper ex­pansion.

Adjustable Fence Mounting Bracket

INCR A Fences are adjusted square to the table at the factory. So if your
miter gauge comes equipped with an INCRA Fence, you can skip these
instructions. Incra’s fence mounting bracket enables any fence to be

quickly and easily adjusted for perfect squareness to the table. We have
provided two adjustment points so you can also neut ralize tw is t or thi ck­ness variation that is sometimes present in homemade wooden fences or
sub-fences.

1

Place a square against the front face of your fence. If you see a gap
between the top of the fence and your square rst loosen both outside
nuts. Tighten one of the inside nuts about 1/6 turn against the rear leg of
the bracket as shown in Figure 7, and then tighten the other inside nut
by the same amount in the same direction against the rear leg. Alternate
this 1/6 turn procedure between the two nuts until the fence is perfectly
square to the
table DO NOT
TURN THE SET
SCREW and DO
NOT over tight­en the nuts. It
usually takes
less than 1 full
turn of the
nuts to square
your fence to
the table.

Your INCRA Miter V27’s vertical support surface doubles as a Universal
Mounting Bracket that makes it easy to attach your own user-made auxiliar y
fence if you ever need one. Just cut a straight piece of wood to the desired
length (18” to 24” is a good size), a nd attach w ith user s upplied wood
screws and washers through the two slotted holes. See Figure 6.
