I don't work for these folks, but thought I'd share. I chose the Incra 1000SE with the Express Sled thanks to some advice from ya'all in another post. I received it today at the office from the brown Borg on wheels. Couldn't wait to get home!
Got home, opened the box to both parts, the miter gauge and sled. Set the sled parts aside....might put that together tomorrow. But, my DW746 has the sliding table, not sure how much of a hurry I'll get in. Plus, I have to decide if I want to set it up with the miter on the left or the right of the blade. I have a left tilter..... (Could use a recommendation here)
One comment I'll make right away, about the sled.... is that the miter gauge comes with an attachment for a 'T-Slot' style table slot, which my saw has, but the sled does not have the 'T-Slot', so I'll have to take off the attachment when using between sled or no sled.
After easy instructions for set up..... I tested a couple of pieces. This is how the 45's look with a "right out of the box" set up. So far, I like the miter and the miter stop....
By the way, I never thought about using the digital angle gauge to test a miter before.....but it looks like it worked! Time to make some boxes!!!
