ASSEMBLY AND CALIBRATION

1. Attach Clamping Knob and T-Clip

Remove the hex bolt that secures that protractor head

and replace with the large threaded knob included in

the hardware pack. The washer on the hex bolt must

be used with the threaded knob, Fig. 1.

If the Miter slot in your table saw has a T-slot, attach

the T-clip to the end of the miter bar as shown in Fig. 2.

2. Adjust the Miter Bar

Loosen the (2) fasteners that secure the fence to the

fence mounting bracket and remove the fence. Adjust

the miter bar at each of the (4) expansion mechanism

locations for a good t in your table saw’s miter slot.

Turning the screw clockwise expands the mechanism.

You’ll nd (2) of the expansion locations in front of the

protractor. Adjust these (2) front expansion points

rst, expanding a little at each of the locations until

the bar slides smoothly, Fig. 3.

Remove the large clamping knob, and disengage the

rear actuator tooth from the 1/2° adjustment plate.

Pivot the protractor head to gain access to one of

the rear expansion points. To gain access to the fi-

nal rear expansion point, remove the rear actuator

thumbscrew and pivot the actuator, Fig. 4. After

adjustment, replace the rear actuator thumbscrew,

re-engage the rear actuator tooth to the 0° notch

on the 1/2° adjustment plate, then replace the large

clamping knob, washer and fence.

3. Attach the Fence

Place your Miter3000SE in the preferred miter slot at

your table saw. (Note: Left hand miter slot use shown.

See step 4 to convert fence for use in right hand mi-

ter slot.) Attached the fence to the fence mounting

bracket and slide the fence to a position that leaves

safe clearance between the end of the fence and the

blade. Tighten the (2) 1/4-20 fasteners, Fig. 5.

4. Left or Right of Blade

Your new Miter3000SE fence is factory congured for

use to the left of the blade. If you prefer to use your

Miter3000SE in the right hand miter slot just follow

the steps below.

Loosen the 1/4-20 socket head screw located at the

end of the 23” section of the fence, then slide out the

4” section of fence along with the attached extender

bar. Move the socket head screw, washer and rectan-

gular nut to the hole on the opposite end of the fence.

Slide the extender bar assembly into the end of fence,

capturing the rectangular nut in the T-slot on the ex-

tender bar. The higher numbers on the extender bar

scale should be closest to the saw blade. Loosen the

(2) socket head fasteners that secure the 4” section

of fence and reverse it. Tighten all fasteners, Fig 6.

Slide the scale in the top of the 23” fence out and re-

place with the included reverse reading scales.

TIP: About Your Fence Scales

All INCRA products use overlapping 16” long Lexan

scales. The overlap allows ne-tuning the scale from

one end to the other to agree with the high degree of

accuracy provided by the INCRA saw toothed posi-

tioning racks. As they are slid into the scale slot on the

fence, the ends are overlapped and aligned using the

optical window located at the end of the second scale.

The friction t will keep the scales in place. If you wish,

you can use a small piece of double faced tape at the

overlap to ensure that the scales move together when

changing your zeroed setups for mitering.

5. Adjust Fence Mounting Bracket 90°

to Saw Blade

Loosen the large clamping knob and make sure that

the rear actuator left hand tooth is engaged rmly

with the 0° notch on the 1/2° adjustment plate. Engage

the front actuator tooth with the 0° notch located on

the protractor head, Fig.7. Tighten the front actua-

tor thumbscrew then tighten the large clamping knob.

Using a Phillips head screw driver, loosen the (3)

Phillips head screws that secure the fence-mounting

bracket to the protractor head. Unplug your table

saw, then use a reliable machinist square to set the

fence at 90° to the saw blade, Fig. 8. Tighten the (3)

Phillips head screws.

This one time calibration prepares your INCRA Mi-

ter3000SE for work in either miter slot. Just remem-

ber that the accuracy of the INCRA Miter3000SE at

any subsequent setting is dependent upon the accura-

cy of your initial 90° calibration. Verify this im-

portant calibration with a test cut and ne

tune as necessary.

OPERATION – CHANGING ANGLE SETTINGS

The dual actuator design of the INCRA Miter3000SE provides two levels of adjustment. The front actuator is

used for coarse adjustments (5°), while the rear actuator is used for ne adjustments (1/2°). For most mitering

work, you’ll have the left hand tooth of the rear actuator engaged at the 0° notch, while you make angle changes

using only the front actuator. When using the rear actuator for ne adjustments, you are simply adding or sub-

tracting from the coarse adjustment setting.

6. Calibrating the 1/2° Indexing Tooth

The 1/2° indexing tooth located on the rear actuator

is factory calibrated and should require no further ad-

justment. Follow the instructions below should you

wish to check the calibration or re-calibrate.

Loosen the large clamping knob and the rear actua-

tor thumbscrew. Engage the left-hand tooth of the

rear actuator rmly with the notch marked “CAL”

on the rear scale and hold while you tighten the large

clamping knob, Fig. 9. Now pivot the rear actua-

tor to engage the right hand tooth with the notch

marked “CAL” on the rear scale, Fig. 10. If adjusted

properly, it will pivot perfectly into the notch. To

adjust, loosen the (3) socket head screws that secure

the tooth and ne tune the position to align with the

“CAL” notch. Pivot back and forth between the two

“CAL” notches to verify the calibration.

ed notch then tighten the large clamping knob and the

rear actuator thumbscrew, Fig. 14.

Important: After completing your cut don’t forget to

return the rear actuator setting to the 0° notch.

CAUTION:

AFTER MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE

MITER ANGLE OF YOUR INCRA MITER3000SE,

ALWAYS VERIFY SAFE CLEARANCE BETWEEN

THE FENCE AND THE BLADE BEFORE TURN-

ING ON THE SAW.

For angle settings ner than the 1/2° settings, rst use the 1/2° indexing instructions above to locate the protrac-

tor head as close as possible to the desired angle. With the large clamping knob loosened, pivot the rear actuator

tooth slightly away from the notch on the 1/2° adjustment plate. Rotate the protractor head in the direction of

required adjustment and tighten the large clamping knob. Do not tighten the rear actuator thumbscrew. As with

any mitering tool, odd angle adjustments may require a little trial and error.

Continuous Adjustments

FLIP FENCE AND FLIP SHOP STOP - CALIBRATION AND OPERATION

As you look at your new INCRA Flip Shop Stop and

Flip Fence for the rst time you will see an interesting

detail. The front face of the fence uses a tongue and

groove arrangement to accept a mating feature on the

ip arms, Fig. 15. When the ip arm is down with

the two opposing features engaged, it becomes im-

possible for the sharp corner of a mitered board end

to wedge between the fence and ip arm. Combined

with INCRA’s famous incremental positioning capa-

bilities, you’ll soon be duplicating cut off lengths with

machine shop precision.

Zeroing the Fence Scales

To zero the main fence scale for 90° work, rst set

the protractor to the 0° setting and lock in place.

Clamp the Flip Shop Stop to the fence so that the 0”

mark on the fence scale reads directly under the end

of the gold component of the Flip Shop Stop, Fig. 16.

Now loosen the (2) 1/4-20 socket head screws that

secure the fence to the fence mounting bracket and

slide the fence toward the blade until the Flip Arm on

the stop contacts the blade. Re-tighten the fasteners,

Fig. 16A.

For stopped cuts beyond the range of the main fence

you’ll need to calibrate the extender bar scale. Clamp

the INCRA Flip Shop Stop to the 4” fence extend-

er. (Use the scale on the short section of fence as a

reference for clamping the stop to the same position

each time you use it.) Now loosen the 1/4-20 socket

head screw located at the end of the longer fence and

slide the 4” fence and extender bar out. Use a tape

measurer to set the distance between the blade and

the Flip Arm at 25” and re-tighten the fastener, Fig. 17.

Now simply slide the scale in the extender bar to read 25”

at the end of the longer main fence section, Fig. 17A.

For mitered cutting, a test cut is often the most accurate

means of setting the fence and extender bar scales since

measuring to the tooth of a blade set at an angle to the

fence can be difcult. Begin by setting the desired miter

angle and check for safe clearance between the fence and

blade. Clamp the stop to the fence about 10” away from

the blade. Miter a piece of scrap stock with this setup.

Measure the length of the cut piece, Fig. 18. Then sim-

ply slide the scale on the fence to read the length of the

cut directly under one end of the stop.

Micro Adjusting

To micro adjust your Flip Shop Stop’s position, begin by

loosening the (2) socket head screws located on the top

of the stop body. Now turn the micro adjust socket head

screw to ne tune the stop position, Fig. 19. When un-

screwing the micro adjust screw, apply pressure to the

stop body to keep it against the screw end. After adjust-

ment, always tighten the (2) socket head screws on top

of the stop body.

Flip Arms and Stop Rods

The dual ip arms and stop rods provide a variety of

stop congurations. The ip arms can be used without

the stop rods when you want to take advantage of the

fence/arm tongue and groove feature for stop control on

mitered board ends. Typically, you will use the longer

rod to join the two arms together, Fig. 20. This pro-

duces an arrangement that, when pivoted, moves both

arms simultaneously. The rod can be positioned so that

it is the actual stop surface or it can be positioned slight-

ly behind the front of the arm so that the aluminum arm

is the actual stop surface.

By placing one of the shorter 1-1/2” rods in each of the

two stop arms, you can use the two stop arms inde-

pendently, Fig. 21. For example, you can calibrate one

for work to the left of the blade and the other for work

to the right. On one side of the blade you might want to

position the stop rods to provide two different cut off

lengths from one stop position. By using varying combi-

nations of long or short rods you can create as much as

7-3/4” between the two stop positions.

Making a Zero Clearance Wooden Sub-Fence

A sub-fence can be used to provide tear out control as

well as support for your workpiece up to and beyond

the blade. A good material to use for making your zero

clearance sub-fence is 3/4” medium density berboard

(MDF). Use the drill and counter bore dimensions

shown in Fig. 22. Attach using the supplied fasteners.

Adjust the length of the fence to accommodate your ap-

plication. Note: In applications where the incremental

stopping capability of the Flip Shop Stop is required, the

wooden sub fence can be no taller than 2-1/2”.

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 neutralize twist or thickness variation

that is sometimes present in homemade wooden fenc-

es 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 in-

side nuts about 1/6 turn against the rear leg of the brack-

et as shown in Fig. 24, 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 ta-

ble. DO NOT TURN THE SET SCREW and DO NOT

over tighten the nuts. It usually takes less than one full

turn of the nuts to square your fence to the table.

If you see a gap between the bottom of your fence and

the square, rst loosen both inside nuts. Tighten one of

outside nuts about 1/6 turn against the rear leg of the

bracket as shown in Fig. 25, and then tighten the other

outside 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 one full turn of the nuts to square your fence to the

table.

2) After the fence has been squared to the table as de-

scribed above, tighten both of the loose nuts against the

rear leg of the bracket to secure your setting, Fig. 26.

DO NOT TURN THE SET SCREW.
