Incra Miter Express question/problem

Well the LOML got tired of me turning the house upside down and frowning. "Why don't we just take a drive to Woodcract?", she asks. Never having heard these words come from her mouth I made sure she wasn't feverish and put her into the car! I got the strips I needed, a few spares for the future, and a Wixie! She happened to find a few of their project plans. All is now well with the world....

If I remove them completely it sits flat but has a little to much play. Any suggestions before I call Incra or Shopsmith and show them how stupid I may be?:(

Thanks in advance

If you're stupid on this matter you're not alone. I had exactly the same problem and after a couply hours messing with it I finally got out my files and made the blasted things fit. Didn't take long and wasn't too awful much bother, really, once I had made up my mind to "just do it".

Oh, yeah, DO get and install those slider strips btw. Major good.

So how does it work for you? I was thinking about getting one

I really do like it. It just took a little tweaking and those glide strips to make it perfect.
