INCRA MITRE EXPRESS REVIEW<br />

By Dean Bielanowski<br />

From onlinetoolreviews.com<br />

Without a doubt, the table saw is definitely the most favoured cutting machine in most woodworker's and fine furniture<br />

builder's shops. It can make numerous types of cuts, and with a good blade, can deliver smooth clean cut results. But your<br />

simple table saw and fence setup is only good for a select range of cutting tasks. Adding a mitre gauge to the mix adds another<br />

bag full of cutting abilities to the mix. But even so, there are certain cuts you simply cannot make safely with your basic<br />

table saw setup.<br />

Many woodworkers build jigs and sleds to further expand the use of their saw, but if you are like me, and would rather spend<br />

your meager amount of time allowed to you actually making projects than building jigs, a device like Incra's new Miter Express<br />

might peak your interest... Let's see what this 'tool' can do...<br />

Mitre Express<br />

So, what is it? Basically, it allows you to make cuts on your saw you probably couldn't normally make with a simple table saw<br />

setup, and it allows you to make these cuts safely. It's other major marketing standpoint is....<br />

Well, let's find out exactly how it works, and how easy it is to assemble and use. You will need a mitre gauge to use the Mitre<br />

Express. It can accept virtually any gauge on the market that conforms to the 3/4" x 3/8" slot standard.<br />

Assembly<br />

The mitre express comes shipped in a relatively small, compact box. Once assembled however, its size is several times<br />

larger than in its packed form. Unpacking is quickly achieved as all components are bundled together well, but head straight<br />

for the printed instruction manual first to get you started with the unpacking and assembly process.<br />

Assembly will take about 20 minutes, and involves some screw-driving, mitre slot fit tuning, a couple of saw cuts, and a little<br />

more screw-driving.......<br />
