Several posts here about Incra miter gauges 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:
155700155701
It goes together like so and when in use I still get the benefit of the 1/32" toothed reference strip when adjusting:

Works for me. For you? Maybe, maybe not ;-)
P.s. No, I'm not advertising shedua; that just happened to be the piece left over from a longer board that was high up on the rack ;-))
