12 INCRA Woodworking Tools & Precision Rules
Zeroing the Shop Stop
In order for your INCRA Shop Stop to
accurately locate your work piece for a
cut, you must first “zero” your Shop Stop
to the cutter and position the sliding scale
on your fence. For most applications at
the router table you will be using your
Shop Stop on the outfeed fence to limit
the length of a cut relative to the front end
of a board. Follow the steps detailed in
Fig. 26 to zero to your cutter.
Once the Shop Stop is zeroed to the
router bit as shown in Fig. 26, you now
have the choice of setting the sliding
scale on your INCRA Fence to one of
three initial positions. See Fig. 27 and
Detail 27A .

Fourth: Slide scale
to read directly
under end of stop
cap. Use one of the
initial scale settings
from Fig. 27
Second: Clamp Shop Stop
to fence with the vertical
stop arm as close as
possible to the board
First: Slide square cut
board to contact “high
spot” on the router bit
Third: Loosen black thumbscrews 1 /

turn
and micro adjust until stop arm touches
end of board. Retighten thumbscrews.

Moving to a new Scale Setting
Moving the fence to any new scale setting is
just as easy as moving any other fence you’ve
used before. Push the carriage clamp down to
unlock the carriage, then slide the fence as you
sight through the hairline cursor. When you see
your measurement under the hairline cursor,
pull the clamp up to the locked position, Fig. 28.
Remember that the LS Positioner will only clamp
every 1 / 32 ” or 1mm with the metric version, so
don’t try to clamp in between scale marks. It just
won’t work!
Although the clamping pressure has
been factory adjusted, you may wish
to fine-tune the pressure to suit your
individual feel. If so, use the thin plastic
shims provided and follow the instructions
beginning on page 14.
FIg. 28 Moving to any new scale setting
First: Unlock carriage clamp
Second: Slide fence as
you view scale through
hairline cursor
Third:
Return
clamp to
upright
“locked”
position
CAUTION: For your safety, keep your hands
behind the fence when moving to any new
scale setting.
