On another forum (and maybe here too) folks were bemoaning the Incra Miter Gauge fence and that fact that it was slippery. These posts made me realize (again) how different we are and how differently we approach our work. What seems llike a good idea to one may seem like a waste of time to another. All that being said;
I solved my version of a few different problems reported by different folks. I did apply sandpaper to my miter gauge fence but, I also wanted a greater surface area so I turned it around:
Another member (here?) had acquired some L-knob caps that fit the Incra hex head bolts and I was lucky enough to get some. This makes adjustment of the telescoping mechanism a lot less fussy:
Some scrap ash and a visit to the jig parts drawer yielded a short piece of the Incra toothed plastic strip and a bolt, washer and knob:
It goes together like so and when in use I still get the benefit of the 1/32" toothed reference strip when adjusting:
P.s. No, I'm not advertising shedua. That is just the chalk mark from when the original longer boards were up in the rack. ;-)
