incra v120 shopsmith miter gauge

Post by eagleta2 »

Hi everyone

I'm just curious if anyone has invested in an incra v120 shopsmith miter gauge?

Are you pleased with your purchase? Do you get the dead on accuracy that is advertised?

Im just thinking of treating myself to a Christmas present and this is on the list of things to look at.

Thanks in advance

I am using the Incra v 120 miter gauge. Love it! Once I got used to adjusting the rail for "snuggness" in the miter slot no problems! I have it with the safety handle as well.

I have the V120 and I like it. Had to spend a little time setting it up but now that that is done, it works great. Check out this thread I started when I got mine.

I love the V120, it made cutting angles easier and more accurate. I use the V120 both in my Shopsmith miter slot and on a Miter Express.

I attached a picture so you can see the set up.

I have one on a wish list but it is pretty far down. I have the shopsmith 2000 version and the 1000HD I use on my miter express so I'm not in a rush.

To be honest I still use the shopsmith miter gauge for most things and I'm pretty happy with it. I also have a lot of add-on's for the shopsmith miter gauge which would require a good deal of work to remake to use with the Incra.
