    The jointech should be better for around $300.00 delivered.

    But at $260, shouldn't you really compare the Jointech to the Incra 5000? I wonder how it fares compared to that. Also, does the JTech have a drop off sled?

    Thats a fair price, just buy it you will never regret it. Excellent tool!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    yes, but even the 5000 doesnt do what the jointech does. The jointechs stop is accurate in any angle and the end of the backrest or what ever you want to call it is always at the edge of the blade. the jointech has a sled on the right side of the blade.

    I replaced them with the adjustable lever handles. never had a problem with them, also trimmed the fence at a 45º for more support closer to the blade on angle cuts

    I found the anodized extruded aluminum so slippery that I had to face my Incra with wood. It especially slipped when cutting dados.

    Love mine as well.
    Once the miters are adjusted, it doesnt have any play in it at all.
    Great product.
    GET ONE NOW!!!

    Mine fits perfectly in and has found a home in the U-channel that connects my front rail to the saw body. Lays there 24/7 out of the way and ready for whenever it might be needed.

    Get a magnet strip and hang it near your saw. Then hang the screwdriver/hex head on it. Then you will have the proper tool at your disposal.

    This has replaced my nice, custom made sled as well. It gathers dust. Can't bring myself to dismantle it though.

    Received, installed, love it

    Got it this weekend installed. Easy as pie to set up. Boy, I see what everyone's talking about. It's a great tool. I find it extremely accurate.
