What's Not?

Lacks the ease of fine adjustment, down to individual degree (although stainless steel vernier cursor delivers an incredible 1/10° resolution between fixed steps)

Bottom Line The Incra 1000 SE Miter Gauge has the same miter bar, fence, and flipstop as the Incra 3000 SE and 1000 HD 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. For an additional $15 it is worth buying the 1000 HD to get the detents every 1° even if you only need the capability occasionally. The Incra 1000 SE Miter Gauge is available on amazon for $169
