    New router fence. Incra mated to jessem?

    I need to square away my router fence decision this week as I am going to a wood show on Sunday.

    Here is my current thoughts. The Incra LS Positioner mated to the Jessem MastrFence with MiterSlide. I love the miter slide and I have seen another guys website, possibly an SMC'er, mate the two.

    Hope he doesn't mind me using his link. but I think I found him through SMC a cpl months ago.

    My question is, if I decide on the Incra positioner, will I lose functionality by mating it to the Jessem Fence and Slide? Specifically when using the dovetail templates and things of that nature. I don't mind too much the complete Incra system, I just really dig that Jessem MiterSlide.

    Thanks!

    That looks like a combination made in heaven...a great fence and a great positioning system for it. The JessEm fence, which was introduced a number of years ago was designed from the get-go to be a premium, well-executed solution. I don't know about the functionality loss question, however...someone who uses the Incra will have to comment.

    I have the full-blown Incra LS25 system and I love it. Since I don't have the jessem fence, I may miss something, but i cannot think of a single reason why it would hinder the functionality provided by the Incra positioner. The jessem is a nice upgrade to the existing Incra Right Angle Fixture.

    Wow!! Why didn't I think of that? It looks like a great combination to me, but I can't tell how well it works.
