Not for accurate tiling...
By Raleigh Remodeler
I tried using the square for laying out tile. The square was set in place and a laser layed against it to project a layout line the length of the room. When I got different lines on different tries - over an 1" variation over 12' - I investigated. The problem is the hypotenuse of the triangle is in two pieces to accomodate folding. The locking mechanism allows some flex - and it doesn't take much to throw a projected line off.I sucked it up and spent the $$$ on the Hansen. It's arms are all single pieces and they lock tightly. It doesn't fold up as small but it was dead on.

When Perfection Counts
By John Lee
I do a lot of volunteering for Habitat and when I first pulled out this tool, they all laughed. I used it to check the interior walls .. and especially the ones in the kitchen and baths. It is just the right size for those locations and much more acurate than a framing square. The volunteers who put in the countertops worshipped at my feet when for the first time in the affiliate's history, they did not have to hack and cut the countertops to get them to fit!Fits nicely in my Empire level case.

Jet milling machines
By F. Davies
Jet machines are quite functional.

A milling machine is the heart of a machine shop.

If this is your first milling machine, expect tospend and equal amount on the tooling you will needto make it work. A clamping kit, an assortment of end millschucks and holders, a vice, a rotary table, an indexing headand more will all be required to round out the purchase.

Horesepower translates into speed of material removal.Bigger bits require greater power.

This is just a starter mill and you will want to upgradeto something costing ten or twenty times as much when youwant to do production work as this one is all hand crankedand requires a skilled operator to run it.

Did I mention that it cuts wood etc.? There are even machinableceramics which it can handle.

Again, expect to double the price (as a ballpark est.) on anymachine tool by the time it you are done. And plan to put it ona solid foundation, not in your livingroom.

I use mine (a Jet VMM626) to make thermoplastic injection molds.

Wood and Metal ... a great machine for both
By Michelle Stone
I've used this machine for over a year now. And I really like it. As a drill press for wood, it gives me very acurate and square holes. This is very important in my business where accuracy is key. I use a wooden table and fence that I use over the mill bed.I use it also to do light milling with aluminum. It does a satisfactory job with that. I'm happy with the results. I think that if I were to do only milling and I had to do complicated parts, this mill would not be enough. Running the table back and forth manually can get pretty boring.There is only one thing that I do not like and that is to raise the head, I have to loosen the clamp that holds the head from moving right or left. So when I raise the head, I can't garantee that I'm still where I want to be. As a result, I have to recenter my work.The machine is very heavy. Jet installs an eye bolt on top so that you can hoist it up onto your stand. I like this very much. I built a solid stand for it out of 2x6's and that has been very stable.The mill/drill has been very reliable. I use it every day and I have had no maintenance problems.As a drill press with wood, you'll not find anything better. As a mill with metal, it's pretty good. And for the price you are paying. This is very good value.

Good little mill
By J. D. Nelson
This has been a very good mill. We've had this model for approx. 10 years with no problems whatsoever. My only complaint is the lack of a way to gauge the alignment of the head after it raised and lowered.

Now I dont use my miter saw as much
By A Customer
It performs flawlessly as promissed. However if your serious about woodworking and expect perfection in your work this tool will be an asset to you. Most of the time you can't even use the miter gauges supplied with the saw and this really limits the usefullness of the saw. I have been playing around with it for a week making various cuts and checking them for accuracy and I am throughly pleased and I feel I got my moneys worth. I have seen some of the reviews of other incra miter gauges and there has been some concern about the guide wheels wearing out. I can see this happening but I don't consider any tool maintence free and this is something that will need attention as time goes on but I feel that it is acceptable.The only thing I am still not sure of is were the differences between the 2000 and the 3000 worth the money? And I had no other experiences with after market gauges so I can't compare. I do know that it does perform as I expected.

Incra 3000 Miter Gauge
By Paul G. Held
I've needed a precise miter guage for some time now. On the recommendation of a woodworking buddy who had bought a Incra 2000 miter guage and liked it, I purchased the Incra 3000. I cannot believe I existed for as long as I did without this wood working tool. The miter guage and fence is accurate, easy to use, and precise. It allows one to make segmented wood rings quite easily. The Incra 3000 uses mechanical stops for all of the commonly used miters. Using a unique fine adjustment half degree increments can be obtained. This feature, while very handy can get you in trouble if you forget to retun it to "zero" before changing to you next angle. No fault of the tool, just the user's forgetfullness. The 3000 is an upgrade from the 2000 in that the miter guage swings in both directions while the 2000 need to be taken aprt and reassembled if miters in the other direction are required. Tool setup and alignment are easy and the directions are great. I would highly recommend this product to any woodworker who needs accurate miters.

Weak point makes this tool unuseable
By WaltW
The protractor head, associated knobs, fittings, and adjustable miter slot bar are very good and probably provide a high degree of accuracy. The problem lies in the attachment of the fence to the protractor head thus negating the protractor head accuracy.

There is a piece of 1/8" angle iron between the protractor head and the fence (3/4" x 1-1/4" x 6"). The narrow leg is attached to the top of the protractor head with three screws and the other leg is attached to the back of the fence with two screws. The three screw connection to the protractor head provides adjustment to set the protractor head square to the ts blade. The two screws holding the angle iron and fence together are backed with threaded plates that slide in the fence thus allowing the fence to be moved from side to side.

The angle iron between the fence and the protractor head is not sturdy enough to prevent the fence rolling from front to back. Consequently there is no way to insure the fence face is 90 degrees to the ts table. The instructions provided say to put tape between the angle iron leg and the protractor head, either in front of the screws or behind depending which way the fence is out of square. It's obvious Incra saw the problem, but did not come up with a satisfactory adjustment.

To compound the problem, the protractor head and associated mechanism is made out of 1/8" steel and plastic. Flex in this construction amplifies itself to the fence.

This miter guage could be a superior tool if: 1) the protractor head / fence connection was strengthened, 2) heavier guage material or cast material was used in its construction.

All of this is mute if the only use of the miter guage was to cut material flat on the table. Unfortunately, this is not the case for most people.

I don't have an superior alternative to this miter guage, but am looking.
