Incra - Incra 1000 SE Miter Gauge
Detents every 5°
Oct 23, 2014
Lacks Ease of Fine Adjustment
Street price: $160
Bar adjustment: Good
Detent usability and range: Very good, 0°-90° in 5° increments
Fence quality/range: Good, 18 to 21 in.
Flip-stop quality: Very good
Miter test: Very good
Long stock test: Good
Octagon test: Excellent
The gauge has the same miter bar, fence, and flipstop as the other Incra gauges, but the 1000 SE’s head only has detents every 5°. While this gauge performed well, it lacks the ease of fine adjustment, down to individual degree, that the 1000 HD has.

Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
