re: Mitre guage
Not an Incra fan boy myself. I've bought 2 of them, and both would not adjust, just junk. I quit trying them, frustrating. I did get an SE 1000? it was on a Delta TS I bought to flip. It was dead nutz, and I kept it as a user, still have it. Like 30 years maybe? Paired an old Delta with the saw, and sold it.
I think more than anything that they feel the need to send adjustment instructions with them new, pizzes me off. All other better brands I have bought worked 100% right out of the box. I think my favorite is the Osborne, they just take up too much wall space with their "elbow" so I swapped to Kreg's a bunch of years ago, also extremely accurate. I guess with woodworking a hypothetical 1* change in adjustment on something wood, that is going to move, just doesn't register. Pluss 99.9999999% of my cuts are 90, 45, or 30* Anything outside of this is probably going to meet my shooting board, at least if it's a critical joint.
The Fulton I linked above is as accurate, and built a lot like the Kreg, and for a great price compared to all of the top tier ones. I still would just add one more of them if I needed another. I'm not sure what that nightmare looking thing just above is, but it looks like you need an advanced degree to use it, way too many parts. I don't think I am alone in that the majority of the cuts made at a TS are out of the range I suggested.
