Hot Or Not? Incra TS-LS Joinery System Combo

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Maybe I’m just becoming more of an old fart curmudgeon, but when I see something advertised as “now only $923″ I think what’s only about $923? You do have to use coupon code TSC7 to get this price on the 52″ range Incra TS-LS Joinery System with 32″×32″ right side router table, but are systems such as these good values?

I do like the Incra rulers and markers (as seen on TM 10/5/07 and 7/29/08), but this joinery systems seems more than a wee bit expensive, even if it does include the Wonder Fence split router fence, rip fence, support legs, rails, and router plate with inserts.

T-tracks provide variable mounting points for jigs, hold-downs, featherboards, and other accessories. You cut them to the desired length and install them flush with your work surface, using flat-head screws.  With the track installed, you can secure your jig or accessory to your work surface with T-bolts or 1/4″ hex head bolts paired with nuts or threaded knobs.

Bend The Rules

Bend Rules from Incra

It’s easy to introduce error when you’re transferring measurements from a board face to its side — even when you use a square. But with Bend Rules from Incra, you don’t have to worry about introducing any error when transferring measurements because their rule wraps around the edge of the board. Their rules also feature corner slots that extend to both the face and the edge of the board so you can mark both sides simultaneously.

Finds: Miter Express

A miter gauge is great for turning your table saw into a miter saw. The only issue can be the inaccuracy of the cuts when shifting or kickback occurs: a miter sled is a more stable way to go.  But the Miter Express takes the miter sled concept a bit further, giving you a stable zero-clearance platform for all kinds of angled cutting projects. 

Incra’s new Miter Express offers any miter gauge owner an extremely accurate cross-cutting and mitering platform.  The Express features two embedded T-Slot channels to secure the included hold down clamps and outboard fence support.  You can also employ the T-slots for mounting your own custom Jigs.
