Incra LS fence system best practice
Moderator: admin
I read this thread rather hurriedly and may have missed something. I find that periodically I need to level both end tables to the center table in order to make the LS system work easily. This usually takes a few minutes and seems to last awhile. I do find that all of my jigs work more smoothly when the tables are properly balanced and set at same heights. As to tubes I only use them if cutting really long boards.. Jim

This is n interesting point, and one which has particular significance 4 me regarding the LS.fjimp wrote:.... I find that periodically I need to level both end tables to the center table in order to make the LS system work easily. This usually takes a few minutes and seems to last awhile. ... Jim
Occasionally (more often than not) when re-installing the LS I also need to do that re-leveling thing to make the LS carriage slide more smoothly over its range of travel. The fix is quick and easy 4 me 2, but perhps not the same as yours. I set the height equal, with a long straightedge spanning. Then all I have to do is step to the end(s) of the SS, bend down and grab the leg with both hands, and wiggle, 'til the tables are co-planar. (I hope that's the proper use of that word.)
Couple minutes. And if we have no earthquakes, next time I mount the LS I won't have to re-do this.
[btw, this process has "evolved"]
