This review was meant to be done a long time ago, but as usual my health has put paid to any plans I make, and so my apologies go out to Charley and Incra for the rather slow progress. The first Allen key is a 1/8” and by way of the 4 screws that secure the faceplate to the protractor it allows you to square the gauge to the blade. li>
Our sales and service team based in our Kilmarnock Trade centre have a combined experience of over 100 years in the trade and we are proud of the fact that we can provide a first class service and advice on any of our products whatever your requirements. After this re tightened the screws and using the larger of the black knobs as a handle, take a bit of scrap wood and made a cross cut to confirm the setting is correct.

Use for mitre cutting of frame, skirting (not tall skirting), architraves and beading as well as basic marking out.As you can see it comes well packed, and along with the gauge the box contains 3 bags of parts which are labelled with their contents. The Trend ANGLEFIX is the must have accessory for quick, accurate mitresaw setup when cutting mitres.
With these saw guides, you can make your own mitre box, customized to fit the saw you use to ensure accurate cuts. On looking along the Glidelock mitre bar you will see 4 white adjustable expansion disks (the forth is hid under the protractor), and these can be used to give you a perfect fit and stop any side to side movement of your V27 in the mitre slot. The aluminium casting that holds the fence in position features two micro adjustment screws to further calibrate the gauge if required to ensure the fence is true. If you need to do this yourself, a block of wood cut down to ¾”x3/8” would also do the same job and may even be better. Also printed on the protractor is a “Quick reference angle chart” which tells you that if for instance you want a frame with 18 sides you should set the gauge to 10 degrees or for 6 sides set it to 30 degrees.The white ones have a small slit in them, which allow them to be adjusted by means of turning the grub screw with a small Allen key (provided). The sturdy aluminium fence with steel scale, flip stop and scale pointer ensures precise, repetitive cuts every single time.
The most commonly used angles have an indent drilled into the underside of guide bar, and eight of these are 45+, 30+, 22. INCRA Mitre Sliders are the greatest shortcut ever invented for getting a sled or other fixture tracking perfectly through a miter slot. Until you get used to using the EB3, when making angled cuts make sure that you check that the fence is not in the path of the blade, as you will be surprised at how easy it is to cut the tip of the fence off.To some this will probably sound like “Teaching Granny To Suck Eggs” and if it does then I am sorry, but I feel that for those who are new to the hobby it is good and vital advice, and so better said, because lets face it when we first take up woodworking and spend many hundreds of pounds on a machine, we rightly or wrongly expect it to at least cut a straight piece of wood right out of the box (I know I did), but sadly as many of us will know this is often not the case So if your table saw is new, which is when most of us find out about the rubbish mitre gauge the manufacturers have sent us, make sure that your blade is square to the mitre slots before you try and set your gauge up, or you will be fighting a losing battle. One thing to mention is that 2 of these washers/disks are hidden under the protractor head, and it is a simple matter of removing the fence and large black know and turning the protractor to one side and then do any adjustment that is needed . Underlay is a vital part of any carpet or flooring installation - but it’s essential when laying carpet. You’ll produce highly precise results both with narrow and wide workpieces such as boards and panels.
