Does anyone have any experience with this? How does it compare to others (Incra, etc.)?

I have the Osborne EB-3 which is the parent of this one I believe, I like it very much. It is accurate, well made and has a lot more to offer than the competition. The design is a truss, very strong without flex like some of the others.

I actually have this miter gauge and the EB3. I got the EB3 first then bought a Dewalt sliding table. The design is similar but they are not interchangeable. The Al extrusion is a different pattern on each. The EB3 has an extension Dewalt does not. My Dewalt has a hold down the EB3 does not. Both have flip stops. I think if I were to start from scratch I would get the EB3 for $10 more. I use the extension a lot but not the hold down. I am not sure if the miter gauge from Dewalt comes with the hold down it is not mentioned in the description but the slot that it drops into is visible in the picture it may be an add on.

Hope that helps,

Joe
