    Incra Jig

    Rockler has the plastic Incra jig on sale for $30 this month (normally $60)

    Aside from router table fence positioning, I'm trying to think of good uses for this accurate and repeatable positioning rack...

    Seems like a solution in search of a problem...

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      Uses?

      I have the Incra Ultra 16 that I use for dovetails and box joints. It is also good for accurately setting distances from the router bit, as you all probably know. It works very well for me. As for this jig I could see using it for:

      1. Attached to BT3100 fence for micro adjustment.
      2. Same for a bandsaw.
      3. Same for a drill press.

      Probably a lot more uses but I am Incra Jig challenged at this point. I am not suggesting anyone buy it, just suggesting some ideas for use. Its supposed to be very accurate.

      Edit: checked Rockler Website, seems its back to $59.99.

        $29.99 price is in the retail store flyer good thru mar 25.
        Bandsaw and drill press the column would seem to get in the way.
        Unless you offset it to the side.

          I bought it the last time it was on sale and love it on my router table.

            Price Update

            Thanks for the info on the price. I will see if my local Rockler carries it. I think this jig can only be adjusted in 1/32" increments. That may be a draw back in some situations.

              The web site still says $60. How do I get one for $30?

                its in the retail store flyer. I don't know how you get it on the website.
                if you want one for $30 go to a retail store, I guess.

                  I sure wish I could get that online and have it shipped to my USA home address. That would be nice to have for my router center.

                    I'm going to my local store this morning to get one. If you want one, too, let me know and I'll get you one and ship it whereever you want it.

                      I really appreciate this offer, but I will pass on it. Thank you for offering. If I were back in the States, I would probably take you up on it as there is no Rockler close by the Memphis area. My daughter sends things to me here but it usually takes her several weeks to "get around to it". I order things often when I am back there.

                      Thanks again of the offer.
