Question on set up- Incra I Box Jig

ChrisNeilan · Post by **ChrisNeilan** » Tue Nov 05, 2013 9:58 pm

I just received an Incra I Box Jig, looks like it is well made. In the setup instructions the instructions say to set it up depending on if the saw is left or right tilt. Well, I'm guessing that a Shopsmith is neither. Any recomendations?

The table tilts right so tis the same as an arbor tilting left.

Truth be known, what this is really about, is which side of the blade is 'constant' and which side 'grows with the blade width adjustments.

The jig is assembled two different ways depending upon the blade configuration. The SS arbors are constant on the left(headstock side) and the kerf grows to the right as the blade size is increased.

No, I 'think' Kreg was under thinking and used blade tilt direction as part of the instructions, when they should have been referring to arbor nuts.

I 'think' INCRA(yaa I got that wrong:o) was thinking what is the most visual thing regarding arbor 'ends'. Tilt was the most obvious.

Again we gots a different animal.
