Well, the Incra TS III fence system came in, so it was time to strip the old systems from the table saw and move it to its new place. It looks rather "nude" all by itself. That will soon change.       The Incra system arrived in 3 carefully packed cartons. I started by opening each and checking to see the various pieces.     There are a myriad of parts. What makes it nice is that each and every part is bagged, and each bag has a label describing the bag's purpose. The one I start with is marked "Mounting Bracket Hardware Pack." In addition to that, the Owner's Manual starts with a couple of pages which show actual size drawings of every nut, bolt and washer. It is hard to make a mistake with instructions this clear.    If there is one "error" in this manual, it is the statement that says "In just about an hour or so..." It took me several hours. There are a lot of steps and I wanted to do each one exactly.      The first step is to attach 4 mounting brackets to the table saw. The instruction sheet shows ways for threaded and unthreaded holes, and the parts packet includes a wide assortment of bolts. You attach these finger tight.    Now I slide one of the two rails on the mounting brackets. [Note: the exact steps are detailed very completely in the Owner's Manual; I will only show the main steps along the way.]    Normally, you would extend the extrusion some distance beyond the table saw top. In the case of the SuperStation, I will be adding a sliding table on the left-hand side, so I positioned the rails flush to this edge.    Setting the rail height is extremely easy and accurate. I clamp one of the base pieces to hold the rail at the correct height while I tighten the height adjusting bolts.    With my table saw, it was necessary to remove the top to get to one of the bolt holes. With this bolt tightened, I could reposition the table top. This also means that I had to do fine adjustment of the top to be absolutely square to the blade. Main Menu Previous  Page Next  Page
