Do you just calibrate, test, calibrate, test, wash, rinse, repeat until it works?  I'm getting frustrated here.

I'm using a Woodpecker square to align it to the blade at 90*.  I'm contemplating buying a triangle to set the 45*.  Has anybody done this?  Do you have a supplier you'd recommend?

I'm also thinking of asking for another 1000SE for Christmas that I'll just leave set at 45*!


I am not familiar with your miter gauge, or any after market miter gauge but have a suggestion that may help.
I will explain how I set a standard miter gauge to a dead 90° and you may be able to do the same with your Incra. 
I loosen my miter gauge locking knob just enough so the head can move. Then I turn it upside down and slide it into the miter slot. When the head is snug against the table I tighten the locking knob. That's all there is to it.
I use my band saw table instead of the table saw because the tube the fence rides on is in the way.
I also can set the miter gauge to 22-1/2° and 45° with an MDF scrap with the slots for the gauge routed into it. 90° could also be done on the MDF.
