INCRA Miter 2000 - Manual (Page 6)

Zero Clearance
Adding a wooden auxiliary fence to the front
of your INCRA Miter Gauge fence offers
several benefits. Often, the most important
benefit is the ability to add zero clearance
backing for all of your crosscutting and
mitering operations. A zero clearance
auxiliary fence extends beyond the end of the
miter gauge fence and crosses the line of cut
to provide tearout control during a cut. It also
carries any small cutoff pieces safely past the
blade. In the expanded clamping mode, your
INCRA Shop Stop will clamp to your Miter
Gauge fence with auxiliary fences up to
3 ⁄
4
"
thick. See Fig. 13.
Extending Stop Range
or Fence Height
Another reason to add an auxiliary fence to
your INCRA Miter Gauge is to extend the
stopping range or fence height when used in
conjunction with the INCRA Shop Stop. By
adding a
3 ⁄
4
" plywood or hardwood auxiliary
fence that extends beyond the end of the
miter gauge fence away from the blade and
using the Shop Stop in the standard clamping
mode, you can clamp the stop directly to the
auxiliary fence. Using the Shop Stop in this
way allows the use of taller auxiliary fences
as well.
Attaching an Auxiliary Fence
For auxiliary fence applications where
incremental use of the Shop Stop is required,
the wooden auxiliary fence should be flush
with the top of the INCRA Miter Gauge fence.
Use the dimensions shown in Fig. 14.
Provided in your hardware pack are
1 ⁄ 4 - 20 x 3 ⁄ 4 " fasteners with washers
and nuts.

NOTE:
Set the INCRA Shop Stop to expanded mode
as described in the Shop Stop owner’s
manual (page 3, Fig. 7) when using an
auxiliary fence up to
3 ⁄ 4 " thick.
To increase holding power when
crosscutting or mitering, add a strip
of adhesive backed sandpaper to
the front face of your wooden
auxiliary fence. A sandpaper with a
150 to 180 grit works best.
