incra miter gauges > miter 5000

Craftsman until recently insisted on using a 5/8 inch wide miter slot on their saws, just to make life difficult. I went to the huge MSC catalog, mscdirect.com, and found a few things that will probably work: 1018 Steel cold finished rectangles are available in 36' and 72' lengths 5/8' wide and 1/4', 5/16', and 3/8' thick. I have two cabinet saws in the shop right now — a Craftsman and a Delta Unisaw. There’s close consistency between these two saws concerning miter slot placement, but they aren’t identical. The distance between Delta’s slots is 9-15/16 in. From the left slot to the face of the arbor flange on the left and 4-7/16 in.

Craftsman Table Saw Miter Slot Sizes

The Miter 5000 blends the incremental angle control features of the Miter 3000SE with a special 3-panel Sled for exceptional accuracy, capacity, and control. 20”-25” panel cutting capacity on most saws plus T-tracks and a heavy duty hold down clamp for controlling small parts.

Miter gauges don’t offer control or accuracy when pulled beyond the front of the saw, while the 5000 can crosscut 23' x 34' plywood cabinet sides with ease on most full size 10' table saws.

The 36' to 64' telescoping IncraLOCK Fence and Flip Shop Stop have plenty of range for long boards. Sleds allow better control because the lumber isn’t sliding on the saw’s top, and they’re safer for small parts, too. The 5000 has aluminum T-tracks embedded in the MDF platform to secure the included heavy duty Build-It hold-down clamp.

The sled can be set up on either the left side or right side of the blade, and a renewable Drop Panel provides zero clearance tearout control on both sides of the blade.
