Original
INCRA Jig
Part
Number: IJ32
|
Back by popular demand!
The
INCRA Jig that started it all more than twenty years ago has been reissued, and
the same qualities that made it such a knockout then are still relevant
in
workshops today.
The only two moving parts are the locking knob and the
single-piece upper carriage. It’s as simple and reliable as your favorite
hammer, yet it indexes on 1/32” increments with the same 1/1000” positioning
accuracy and repeatability of our top-of-the-line LS Positioners. | |
|
The
rigid, glass-reinforced resin body consists of upper and lower halves and provides
8” of solid fence travel. Our patented incremental racks are installed
where the halves of the jig meet, with each rack offering hundreds of teeth on
a precise 1/32” spacing. When the clamping knob is tightened, the teeth mesh,
causing the fence and carriage to instantly “center up” on perfect multiples
of 1/32” five to ten times more precisely than working by eye alone.
By
adding a fence and a couple of simple fixtures (either shop-made or purchased
as part of the INCRA Jig Fence System), 3/8”
box joint and ½” dovetails can be produced equally spaced or variably
spaced. The 1/2” dovetail template can also be made half-blind, through,
sliding, or cornerpost. For even more variety, the 11 box joint templates and
29 dovetail templates from the
INCRA
Master Reference Guide can be adapted to the Original INCRA Jig to
produce literally billions of joinery variations.
And keep in mind that
INCRA Jigs aren’t just for box joints and dovetails. The incremental nature
of the Jig causes fence setups for any repetitive cutting operations such as grooving
and fluting to suddenly become lightning fast and dead-on accurate. Adding a fence
with a larger router bit opening makes it simple to remove material in controlled
steps when doing everyday edge
forming operations.
Though it was made
famous by router work, the Original INCRA Jig’s compact size makes
it perfect for use at a variety of different machines, really anywhere you have
a need for a sturdy, accurate, and repeatable fence positioner. Positioning the
fence on a drill press table or re-sawing lumber at the band saw are only two
of the possibilities.
Though the value of the reissued Original INCRA
Jig hasn’t changed, the rest of the package has benefitted from our 20+
years of experience manufacturing incremental positioners. The printed instructions
are clear, concise, and fully illustrated. The FREE one-hour instructional
DVD covers basic setups, user-made fixtures and accessories, and several typical
router table applications. The DVD also moves on to directly illustrate the processes
of making basic box joints and dovetails, and it even covers some of the many
joinery variations that can be done with the two included templates. | | |
