ZEROPLAY Miter Bars and Stops will fit ANY standard (3/4” x 3/8”) T-Track miter slot that measures between 0.73' and 0.79' wide and at least 5/16' deep. Compatible miter tracks include but not exclusive to: SawStop, Bosch 4100, Delta Unisaw, Powermatic, Rigid, Dewalt, and General 350 Tracks.
- Unless you know for certain, you could have an non-standard size slot, standard being 3/8' X 3/4'. Make you own from Maple or wait until you can measure in person for the plastic. If the saw were mine I'd make a larger plywood top for it to slip down on 3, maybe all 4 sides.
- . (Unable to mike the slot or bar, although a Powermatic miter gauge was a snug fit as in a Powermatic saw. Measured at Superior Distributing.) So, some folks are nearly right, that the Sears (and Ridgid) slot is.750' and the bar is slightly smaller for a snug fit.
- Width of tongue used with the T-Slots will be found in the complete standard, B5.1M. Throat dimensions are basic. When slots are intended to be used for holding only, tolerances can be 0.0 + 0.010 inch or H12 Metric (ISO/R286); when intended for location, tolerance can be 0.0 + 0.001 inch or H8 Metric.
- The slot has a notch in it so that it will not accept a stand miter bar. I have heard of people making bars out of a high density plastic. Is there a source for that? I am also thinking of filing the notches off the slots in the saw so that it will use square bar stock. Even then it is about 5/8 wide instead of the standard 3/4.
Part Number: MITEREXPRESS & SMITEREXPRESS (for Shopsmith table)
INCRA's Miter Express offers any miter gauge owner the safest and most accurate cross-cutting platform available. Miter gauge & fence sold separately; use the Miter Express with ANY standard miter gauge! Available for traditional 3/4” x 3/8” miter slots and Shopsmith machines. Shown above with an optional INCRA Miter 1000SE mounted and ready, the Express features 2 embedded T-Slot channels to secure the included Hold Down Clamp and Outboard Fence Support. These slots are also invaluable for mounting your own custom Jigs and Fixtures.The advantages are simple: The Miter Express doubles your miter gauge's capacity for cutting large panels, it offers more hold down options for greater safety when cutting small parts, and it provides better control overall because the lumber is carried through the blade instead of pushed across the saw.
The Express assembles quickly on either side of the saw blade, and the panels are custom-fit to your saw with two quick cuts and no measuring or alignment. It couldn't be easier! The sliding main panel and locking drop-off panel provide a level surface and perfect zero-clearance tearout control on both sides of the blade.The crosscut capacity of any miter gauge is safely doubled to more than 24' when docked on top of the Miter Express. For these extra-large crosscuts, the non-drag support provided by the sliding panel, along with the extra holding power of the included Hold Down Clamp adds much needed stability and control. As shown on the right, the same INCRA Hold Down Clamp also keeps your fingers comfortably away from the blade when cutting workpieces that are too small to safely hold by hand.
The Miter Express also includes an Outboard Fence Support that locks behind your fence in one of the two T-Slots, providing even more rigidity for all operations.
Shopsmith’s unique miter slot size has previously made it difficult to upgrade the miter gauge, but the Shopsmith version of the Miter Express allows you to mount ANY brand of miter gauge to the sled platform (optional Miter 1000SE shown), and it works with the Shopsmith gauge, too!
The sliding main panel and the locking drop-off support panel are each trimmed with one simple cut during assembly for a perfect fit on YOUR table saw. The result is true Zero-Clearance Tearout Control on BOTH sides of the blade. The Miter Express is instantly removable from your saw table when making rip cuts or other operations that don't require a sled. And thanks to INCRA's quick release feature, your miter gauge undocks from the Express in seconds whenever you want to use your gauge on another tool such as a router table or sanding station.
T-Slot Retaining Clips & Adjustable Miter Bar
The Miter Express features a miter bar that's conveniently adjustable from above for a perfect fit in the miter slots of either traditional 3/4' x 3/8' or Shopsmith sizes.
It also features removable front and rear T-Slot Retaining Clips for sled stability at both the beginning and end of long crosscuts. The clips allow the Express to support itself as it's drawn back from the blade to simplify loading large panels.
