This review is from: Incra MITERV27 Miter V27 Miter Gauge (Tools & Home Improvement)
As a home woodworker I have always bristled at the prices of the high end miter gauges on the market and the low cost gauges always seemed to be flawed in so many ways that they were not worth owning. If I had an unlimited tool budget I would probably be buying the Osborne miter gauge, but that is a good $100 more than I wanted to spend. Since I have a nice cross-cut sled that I built to handle all of my 90 degree cuts, all I really needed was a decent quality miter gauge to handle any angle cutting or "nibble" cuts that I may need to make on the table saw. This Incra V27 gauge has been just the solution I was looking for!
Right out of the package this gauge feels hefty and solid. In use I have found a couple of great things to say about this gauge. First, the three expansion adjusters on the bar allowed me to take every bit of wiggle out of it while riding in my saw's miter slot. The second greatest feature of this gauge is its angle setting capabilities. To set an...Read more

I wanted a simple and totally accurate miter gauge to compliment the more finicky sliding table on my old Ryobi. Looked at them all and thought this would do the trick, and it does.
Reviewers have mentioned that the adjustment system Incra uses is accurate, but difficult to adjust out to a wider than normal width slot. One even used heat to get that extra little bit.
The adjustments are done with a bevelled little allen wrench screw which tightens down onto a plastic washer that has a slot cut in it. As you tighten the screw down, it forces the washer to expand out and it then all fits nice and tight. There are four of these adjustments, one being hidden under the handle (it is easy to access per the directions).
The problem is that you really have to bear down with the tiny provided allen wrench and even when I put a drop of oil on it, it simply was 'way too stiff and was obviously going to break something. Hmmm, what to do? I was going to grab my...Read more

I own two of these, one for the table saw and the other does double duty between my router table and sanding station. I could not find a better miter gauge for the money and neither will you. Very accurate and easy to set up and use.
