The use of special purpose jigs and xtures in the workshop is

an essential part of many woodworking operations. Used by

amateurs and professionals alike, table saw and other stationary

tool jigs take the work out of difcult and time-consuming setup

operations. They increase safety and productivity while maintaining

accuracy and repeatability.

But for all the advantages they offer, many

benecial jigs and xtures are overlooked or

avoided altogether simply because of the time

and effort required to get the jig’s base platform

up and running. Most jig bases begin with a

plywood or MDF panel that is carefully drilled

and counterbored to accept a wooden or plastic

runner, followed by a series of carefully placed

mounting holes for attaching the fences or other

accessories required for the jig’s functions. Easy

enough right? But then you nd the runners

expand and won’t slide smoothly, or contract

and become sloppy. The critical hole positions

are slightly off and you end up with a fence that’s not quite square

and offers no means of adjustment. Before you know it , you’re

making the cuts for your project with no jig at all, taking chances

with safety and compromising the quality of your craft.

Your new Incra Miter Slider will make your next jig-making

experience a pleasure and a success. Incra’s Miter Slider combines

the stability and strength of a hard anodized aluminum body with

a bar width adjustment mechanism to provide a perfect t in your

miter slot. A t that lasts, season after season. Add the new

Build-It System components, including the pre-cut and pre-drilled

Build-It Panels along with the Build-It T-Slot Panel Connectors and

Build-It Brackets, and you can put together your next jig project in

minutes with only a screwdriver. Just connect the parts.

The possibilities are endless!
