Product Description Capitalizing on a great idea, the folks a INCRA have combined their highly successful Miter3000 with the exclusive AngleLOCK Indexing System with a sled system for the table saw. The sled with T-track and clamping fixture secures the workpiece as one solid unit for precision cross-cutting at any angle. The right-hand portion of the sled, once cut, secures to the right miter slot of your table saw by means of a miter slider and functions as a zero clearance cut-off table that's perfectly aligned with the main sled. Since this system includes precision angle adjustment, stop positioner and clamping sled for superior workpiece control, all possibility for cutting error has been eliminated and each cut is predictable and precise. Finally, a perfect cross-cutting system for your table saw! Order the replacement Panel for maintaining zero clearance for different blades and compound angle cutting. Please see above for Miter3000 specifications.
Amazon.com Product Description The Miter 5000 Table Saw Miter Gauge blends the incremental angle control features of the Miter 3000SE with a very special 3-panel Sled for the ultimate miter cutting workstation for the table saw. The sled with two aluminum T-tracks and clamping fixture secures the work piece as one solid unit for precision cross-cutting at any angle. The tracks are embedded in the MDF panel top to secure an included work piece hold-down clamp and to provide absolute rigid support for the 36- to 64-inch telescoping IncraLOCK Cuto-off Fence. The right-hand portion of the sled, once cut, secures to the right miter slot of your table saw by means of a miter slider and functions as a zero clearance cut-off table that's perfectly aligned with the main sled. Since this system includes precision angle adjustment, stop positioner and clamping sled for superior work piece control, all possibility for cutting error has been eliminated and each cut is predictable and precise. Also featured with every Miter 5000 is a simple and incredibly useful hold down clamp which locks your work piece onto the sled for maximum accuracy and the cleanest cuts possible. Ten expansion disks adjust both sides of the bar for zero side play, anti-friction travel on all table saws with standard 3/4-by-3/8-inch or near-standard miter gauge channels, including Delta, Craftsman, and imports. This means that all of Incra's incredible precision will actually show up in your work because the bar won't wiggle around in the miter slot. Also included are Special Edition Miter Fence telescopes from 18- to a full 31-foot length. The dual flip shop stop and Incra's patented automatic positioning control also come standard with this model. AngleLOCK Indexing Precision angle indexing teeth are laser cut in solid steel to lock in 364 positive angle stops in 1/2-degree increments over a full 180-degree range. Interlocking grooves in the fence and stop ensure even the sharp edge of mitered work will not push behind the stop. The fence locking bracket creates a monolithic rigid platform and fence when tightened down. Quickly set using the included standard hex tool, this feature takes an already strong platform into the rigidity level expected in any professional machining environment.

operational prospective December 21, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It took a while to set the Miter5000 up. It assumes everyone has a right tilt blade, but has simple instructions on how to convert it to a left tilt blade. Once set up the accuracy was unbelievable compared to factory miter that came with my Rigid 10" table saw. When cutting outside corners for cabinet molding the stop made fast accurate repetitive cuts.
The only con making cuts on one side you can't use the fence support, if it is a large sheet of wood you can accomplish this by flipping the piece over and cutting the angle opposite.
very good miter sled November 11, 2007 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Incra5000 is definitely what it claims to be--a sturdy, precise, convenient miter sled. It is not much harder to use than the home-made one it is replacing, and will do more than cut off at a 90 degree angle, which is what my old one did. I concur with the other positive reviews, and really just want to make one observation that others seem not to have made. The unit is very versatile, with engineered solutions to most table saw idiosyncrasies. I never knew, for instance, that Craftsman miter slots were undersized. Fancy that. And Incra doesn't know (apparently) that Grizzly miter slots are not only randomly oversized (which they deal with) but also randomly deep. Mine, for instance, are nearly 1/8" deeper than they are supposed to be. And there is no way to use the t-slot fitting that comes with the Incra miter bar. Unless, of course, you have a milling machine. When you decide to fit your shop out with Grizzly hardware, the first machine you should purchase is a Grizzly milling machine. The G1005Z should do the job. After you get the mill, just buy every other Grizzly machine priced at appoximately $975 and you will be all set. You will be ready to make needed modifications to all the other Grizzly machines, or (as in this case) to the accessories you purchase for them.
Very, very accurate July 19, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased the Miter 5000 about a month ago. I have built crosscut sleds before but they just don't compare to this unit. It was very easy to setup and the instructions are first class....easy to read and follow.
I am extremely happy with this unit and would purchase it again.
read the addendums May 7, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Great product, works well in all ways. Addendum sheets included in instructions which preempt the manual. I read the manual before assembly, but didn't read the one addendum, as it didn't seem relevant. However it was instructions to disassemble the unit and reassemble in reverse for a left tilting saw. I didn't do this, so when I cut the base plate, it is for a right tilt saw, so I can't make tilt cuts with it. However, cut this way, I can use the dado head which wouldn't have worked had the base been cut for a left tilt saw.
In short, read all the addendums. Plan how you will use it (tilt or dadoe cuts) before cutting the base.
Precise tool February 9, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have had the Incra sled for about 8 months and I can honestly say that it makes repetitive cuts simple, quick and accurate. I wish I had bought it sooner. I own several Incra products and I am very happy with all of them. This sled is a must have furniture making , woodturning(pen blanks), and any miter cuts that need to be done. Just plain awesome!!!
