I need a new miter gauge - mostly for cutting multiple pieces to the same length. I have read many previous messages about miter gauges and am leaning towards the Incra 1000SE. What does everyone think about it? Thanks in advance for your input!

I have the 1000se and I love it. Precise cuts when you need it.

I have the 1000HD...and I really like it.
I cut some really odd angled miters, for example...the other day, 49.6 degrees. Using the HD it's actually pretty easy to dial in those sorts of things. I probably haven't taken advantage of all of the functionality it offers...but for that fact alone, it has been well worth it.

My only complaint with the 1000se is the need to shim the fence perpendicular to the table. It is not hard to do I feel that this does not change vary from saw to saw and a guage at this level should be true. Once that is done, it is a great miter gauge.

On my second 1000SE (first one sold with old table saw) and it's great---does everything I need. What initially sold me was that their other, more expensive gauges were extremely heavy. Since the gauge comes off and goes on the saw frequently, wanted something easier to handle. I looked at the HD and unless you need detents at all those angles, I'd save your money and buy the SE.

Another 1000SE fan ... it just seems to always be exactly what I need.

-1 on the incra 1000. got it as part of an amazon deal and i rarely use it. i don't care for how it feel as it slides across the CI table top. i wouldn't buy it again. the v27 looks to be a more than ample unit at around half the cost. it's only material deficiency is that the degree marks on the head don't extend to the edge that is immediately adjacent to the angle indicator mark.

there's a solution to every problem.....you just have to be willing to find it.

I had my heart set on the 1000hd but a fellow on the wood forum talked me into the 1000se. I've had it about two weeks now and at this point I couldn't be happier with it. It's everything I could want in a miter gauge. I don't know if they still have it but I got mine from Amazon for $120 something with free shipping.
