Incra TS III Table Saw Fence

Pros: accurate, repeatable, versatile
Cons: space, price

I have the Incra TS-IIIa fence on my Grizzly 1023S table saw. For those of you not familiar, the Incra fence has a series of interlocking teeth, that allows one to position the fence at exact 1/32nd" intervals. It also has a machinist's screw (called the...

Pros: Accuracy, ease of use
Cons: Takes up more room than other solutions

Cons: Aluminum construction easily damaged, needs LOTS of space, may be accuracy "overkill" for table saw

Pros: Extremely accurate, versatile, expandable, works on any fullsized saw
Cons: quite large, may have to be modified to be used with a router table

I have a lower line Delta saw and was always compensating for the inaccurate fence. The ability to repeat cuts or index to specific dimensions should be valued by any woodworker. This product turned my average saw into a precision cutting machine worth...
