I'm a fan of Kreg miter gauges.

I got two. One set up righty, the other lefty.

I have a 1000SE and rarely use it. I used to use it a lot, then I built myself a good crosscut sled. Almost never use my miter gauge anymore.

Can't go wrong with the incra though.

I have the 1000HD, but I rarely use it. It is most useful to me when i am cutting thick stock. It is very accurate and easy to use, though.

I most often reach for my DUBBY!!!! I have the Double Dubby and it is awesome.

+1 on the Dubby. Tried a Incra (can't remember the model.) Way over engineered! Too many parts, fussy set-up. Much happier with my Dubby.

I have a V27 with a 4' incra fence that I use on my sliding table and am very happy with it. I did have to take the uhmw rollers out of it for it to lock into the table right. (only cause of the sliding table) I would like to replace my v27 with the V120 as I have a need for more angle notches.

I love the fence and would like to have them on all my machines.

I also have the DW version of the osborne and with a little shimming of pieces with tiny washers I really like it and use it most of the time.

The 100se is a very good tool and I have used it with no complaints other than the fence was a little short for my needs.

I've got the 1000SE and I love it! However, I had to buy an additional lexan scale oriented opposite from the way the tool is initially sent. It makes reading the scale much easier. It will handle a lot of projects, but you have to reset and re calibrate when you want to switch lefty to righty. I use it with my CM Hybrid.

I also have the smart miter sled from jointech on my Powermatic 66. It's an awesome piece of equipment as it cuts both lefty-righty without having to move it. It extends "way out there" with precision. Worth every penny.

Why is there always time to do it twice, but not enough time to do it correctly first?

Miter Gauge - Incra 1000SE , 1000HD, or other?
OTHER
bought the 1000SE and feel for that much money for something that is to be an upgrade at the very least the fence should sit square to the table

I have the 1000HD. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's such a major pain to swap it between right and left. However, I do it so often that I'm actively looking for another miter gauge to either replace the Incra or to set up with each one living permanently on one side.
