Original Incra jig with OPR

[SDSSmith]

On page 23 of the manual for the Routing System (original OPR), there is a note that references the threaded holes designed to accommodate "the optional Shopsmith Router Fence, Shopsmith Feather Board or Incra-Jig universal positioning accessory". Along with the manual my OPR came with two Incra-Jigs and a 1989 Shopsmith Catalog. The catalog included both the OPR and the Incra-Jig. Back then you could get one jig for $39 or two for $74. The free standing OPR went for $399 back then.

I will try and upload some pictures of the original Incra Jig on my stand alone overarm pin router.

#107 Twin Incra Jigs Mounted to table in original SS table inserts with Upper or Lower Router Fence. The stand alone table is 30" wide. The SS Mark V OPR Work Table size 18 1/2 ˝ d x 28˝ w x 3/4˝ h. The way tubes are 8 3/4 " outside to outside. Most likely the twin Incra over the table setup will work on the SS Mark V OPR.

#128 Corner Inserts Mount. The Scale is easy to read in this position. If only the center of fence and the bit lined up.[ATTACH]11014[/ATTACH]

#129 Corner Inserts Mount. This would be nice if only the center of fence and the bit lined up.[ATTACH]11015[/ATTACH]

#131 Corner Inserts Mount. At this position a through pass by the column is possible. The arm will swing out of the way.[ATTACH]11016[/ATTACH]

Jig mounted with a board and clamps.

# 190 Inserts could be added to the table but, the insert population is heavy in that area. Using the jig mounted on board and clamped to table seems to be the most effective way to position for a cut.

#194 As for the new Mark V mounted OPR and the Incra Jig position would need to be on the left side of the table.

#196 The Incra will not fit between the way tubes in the center of the table. (edit)The twin Incra set will most likely fit on each side of the way tubes as that they are 8 3/4" wide and Mark V OPR is Work Table size18 1/2 ˝ d x 28˝ w x 3/4˝ h and the stand alone table is 30" wide.

One more batch of pictures Incra Jig OPR

I hope some ideal of what an Incra Jig and new OPR will work. There is not much area to mount the jig on the Mark V OPR. (edit)The twin Incra setup will most likely fit on each side of the way tubes as that they are 8 3/4" wide and Mark V OPR is Work Table size18 1/2 ˝ d x 28˝ w x 3/4˝ h and the stand alone table is 30" wide.

Hew - WOW! Thanks a bunch. Your efforts are most appreciated. That answers a whole bunch of questions for me - Thanks a million - Alec

You are welcome.
The stand alone OPR is very versatile. The overarm is good many things but the under table router is more forgiving. You have that chance to go back over the cut and correct it. With the overarm if board rises there is no going back and smoothing it up. I also have a 16" Incra Jig that will retract 12 inches or more til it reaches the column.

I use the shaper fence on the stand alone powered by a 3 HP Ryobi 600 RE at the low speed setting.

Used mostly to powered a door edge bit that I have.

The Power Pro will maybe some day give option of a limited horizontal router.

Jerry,

Thanks for the pictures. I've put the incra jig on my 'wish-list', and I never thought of using the shaper fence on the OPR.

Sincerely,

Has anyone set up their overarm pin router to work with the original Incra Jig? I would love to see your set up- thanks - Alec

Hello - I just tried a spin of my own! I only lately bought this Incra jig and I think it's a super value.

My last method of box-joints was a little cumbersome but fun, using a sled and the Adjustable Stop Collar:

This time putting the Incra Jig on my sled sped things up. It did work]13573[/ATTACH]

After gang-cutting a bunch of 1"-spaced 1/2"-wide slots:

Happy Woodworking!

I think I have the fences that came with the free standing OAR.
I don't use them, if anybody is interested. FREE+shipping.
