While the V27 delivers ALL the accuracy of its bigger INCRA Miter Gauge brothers, its no-nonsense design and compact size make it the most affordable INCRA Miter Gauge EVER! Now, the INCRA Miter V27 makes it possible to put an INCRA Miter Gauge in EVERY standard miter channel in your shop. Assembly is straightforward and only took about 3 1/2 minutes. The Wood River gauge features a steel protractor head with 13 positive stops, a steel miter bar and an aluminum non-telescoping fence with a flip-stop. At this price range, a flip-stop is an unexpected luxury. Unfortunately, if you want a sacrificial fence on your miter gauge, like I do, the stop becomes unusable. The stop itself did show some deflection under pressure. There’s no built-in way to accommodate a sacrificial fence either, so you’ll need double sided tape for that.

Assembly took about 15 minutes but most of that time was spent fiddling with the darn stop. This is one of those parts you wish they included pre-assembled. The Kreg Precision Miter Gauge features an aluminum protractor head, aluminum fence, and an aluminum miter bar. That’s a bold choice for a miter bar as I can see it being a potential weak point in the design, especially at a length of 24” (the longest you’ll find on the market). The gauge can rotate 50 degrees in both directions and has a resolution of 1/10 of a degree thanks to a high visibility vernier scale. It has 9 positive stops that are engaged with a brass pin, though this is an unfortunate design choice as the pin is not fixed to the gauge and if you should happen to turn the gauge upside down, the pin falls out. I also noticed a little play at each detent, but you can overcome it by putting a good amount of pressure down on the pin and then tightening the protractor head. Flip Fences can be used with any INCRA Miter Gauge and the Flip Shop Stop. Flip Fences are NOT compatible with the standard Shop Stop.

For adequate support laterally, the Miter 5000 requires a minimum of 254mm (10") from the side of the outer edge of the miter slot to either the left or right edges of the saw (sled can be installed on either side of the blade). Eliminates All Drag Between Workpiece and Table Saw, ESPECIALLY for Extra Large Workpieces Superb Crosscut &Mitering Control The expansion disks adjust both sides of the bar for ZERO side play, anti-friction travel on all table saws with standard 3/4" x 3/8" or near-standard miter gauge channels, including Delta, Craftsman, imports, etc. This means that all of INCRA's incredible precision will actually show up in your work because the bar CAN'T wiggle around in the miter slot. The miter bar's adjustment range accommodates actual slot widths between 0.740" and 0.765".

An incredible 120 angle stops are laser cut into the steel protractor, with a stop available for every whole degree and two special stops at 22.5 degrees for cutting eight-sided frames and mouldings. Summary: This gauge is an absolute beauty and the materials seem to be of a higher than typical quality. There are seeds of greatness here but there’s a major failure in execution, several missed opportunities, and a couple of regrettable choices. There’s always a chance that I received a bad unit, but I’ve heard from others who have the same issues and many of the problems with this thing are just the way it was designed. Furthermore, my personal experience with their technical service left a lot to be desired. Am I being a little hard on Harvey here? You bet I am. When a company charges 30% more than the nearest competitor, they’ve got something to prove. And judging from the unit I received (and the customer service), Harvey came up short. Final Thoughts
