ASSEMBLY AND CALIBRATION
1. Attach Clamping Knob and T-Clip
Remove the hex bolt that secures that protractor head
and replace with the large threaded knob included in
the hardware pack. The washer on the hex bolt must
be used with the threaded knob, Fig. 1.
If the Miter slot in your table saw has a T-slot, attach
the T-clip to the end of the miter bar as shown in Fig. 2.
2. Adjust the Miter Bar
Loosen the (2) fasteners that secure the fence to the
fence mounting bracket and remove the fence. Adjust
the miter bar at each of the (4) expansion mechanism
locations for a good t in your table saw’s miter slot.
Turning the screw clockwise expands the mechanism.
You’ll nd (2) of the expansion locations in front of the
protractor. Adjust these (2) front expansion points
rst, expanding a little at each of the locations until
the bar slides smoothly, Fig. 3.
Remove the large clamping knob, and disengage the
rear actuator tooth from the 1/2° adjustment plate.
Pivot the protractor head to gain access to one of
the rear expansion points. To gain access to the fi-
nal rear expansion point, remove the rear actuator
thumbscrew and pivot the actuator, Fig. 4. After
adjustment, replace the rear actuator thumbscrew,
re-engage the rear actuator tooth to the 0° notch
on the 1/2° adjustment plate, then replace the large
clamping knob, washer and fence.
3. Attach the Fence
Place your Miter3000SE in the preferred miter slot at
your table saw. (Note: Left hand miter slot use shown.
See step 4 to convert fence for use in right hand mi-
ter slot.) Attached the fence to the fence mounting
bracket and slide the fence to a position that leaves
safe clearance between the end of the fence and the
blade. Tighten the (2) 1/4-20 fasteners, Fig. 5.

4. Left or Right of Blade
Your new Miter3000SE fence is factory congured for
use to the left of the blade. If you prefer to use your
Miter3000SE in the right hand miter slot just follow
the steps below.
Loosen the 1/4-20 socket head screw located at the
end of the 23” section of the fence, then slide out the
4” section of fence along with the attached extender
bar. Move the socket head screw, washer and rectan-
gular nut to the hole on the opposite end of the fence.
Slide the extender bar assembly into the end of fence,
capturing the rectangular nut in the T-slot on the ex-
tender bar. The higher numbers on the extender bar
scale should be closest to the saw blade. Loosen the
(2) socket head fasteners that secure the 4” section
of fence and reverse it. Tighten all fasteners, Fig 6.
Slide the scale in the top of the 23” fence out and re-
place with the included reverse reading scales.
TIP: About Your Fence Scales
All INCRA products use overlapping 16” long Lexan
scales. The overlap allows ne-tuning the scale from
one end to the other to agree with the high degree of
accuracy provided by the INCRA saw toothed posi-
tioning racks. As they are slid into the scale slot on the
fence, the ends are overlapped and aligned using the
optical window located at the end of the second scale.
The friction t will keep the scales in place. If you wish,
you can use a small piece of double faced tape at the
overlap to ensure that the scales move together when
changing your zeroed setups for mitering.
5. Adjust Fence Mounting Bracket 90°
to Saw Blade
Loosen the large clamping knob and make sure that
the rear actuator left hand tooth is engaged rmly
with the 0° notch on the 1/2° adjustment plate. Engage
the front actuator tooth with the 0° notch located on
the protractor head, Fig.7. Tighten the front actua-
tor thumbscrew then tighten the large clamping knob.
Using a Phillips head screw driver, loosen the (3)
Phillips head screws that secure the fence-mounting
bracket to the protractor head. Unplug your table
saw, then use a reliable machinist square to set the
fence at 90° to the saw blade, Fig. 8. Tighten the (3)
Phillips head screws.
This one time calibration prepares your INCRA Mi-
ter3000SE for work in either miter slot. Just remem-
ber that the accuracy of the INCRA Miter3000SE at
any subsequent setting is dependent upon the accura-
cy of your initial 90° calibration. Verify this im-
portant calibration with a test cut and ne
tune as necessary.

OPERATION – CHANGING ANGLE SETTINGS
The dual actuator design of the INCRA Miter3000SE provides two levels of adjustment. The front actuator is
used for coarse adjustments (5°), while the rear actuator is used for ne adjustments (1/2°). For most mitering
work, you’ll have the left hand tooth of the rear actuator engaged at the 0° notch, while you make angle changes
using only the front actuator. When using the rear actuator for ne adjustments, you are simply adding or sub-
tracting from the coarse adjustment setting.
6. Calibrating the 1/2° Indexing Tooth
The 1/2° indexing tooth located on the rear actuator
is factory calibrated and should require no further ad-
justment. Follow the instructions below should you
wish to check the calibration or re-calibrate.
Loosen the large clamping knob and the rear actua-
tor thumbscrew. Engage the left-hand tooth of the
rear actuator rmly with the notch marked “CAL”
on the rear scale and hold while you tighten the large
clamping knob, Fig. 9. Now pivot the rear actua-
tor to engage the right hand tooth with the notch
marked “CAL” on the rear scale, Fig. 10. If adjusted
properly, it will pivot perfectly into the notch. To
adjust, loosen the (3) socket head screws that secure
the tooth and ne tune the position to align with the
“CAL” notch. Pivot back and forth between the two
“CAL” notches to verify the calibration.

ed notch then tighten the large clamping knob and the
rear actuator thumbscrew, Fig. 14.
Important: After completing your cut don’t forget to
return the rear actuator setting to the 0° notch.
CAUTION:
AFTER MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
MITER ANGLE OF YOUR INCRA MITER3000SE,
ALWAYS VERIFY SAFE CLEARANCE BETWEEN
THE FENCE AND THE BLADE BEFORE TURN-
ING ON THE SAW.

tor head as close as possible to the desired angle. With the large clamping knob loosened, pivot the rear actuator
tooth slightly away from the notch on the 1/2° adjustment plate. Rotate the protractor head in the direction of
required adjustment and tighten the large clamping knob. Do not tighten the rear actuator thumbscrew. As with
any mitering tool, odd angle adjustments may require a little trial and error.
Continuous Adjustments
FLIP FENCE AND FLIP SHOP STOP - CALIBRATION AND OPERATION
As you look at your new INCRA Flip Shop Stop and
Flip Fence for the rst time you will see an interesting
detail. The front face of the fence uses a tongue and
groove arrangement to accept a mating feature on the
ip arms, Fig. 15. When the ip arm is down with
the two opposing features engaged, it becomes im-
possible for the sharp corner of a mitered board end
to wedge between the fence and ip arm. Combined
with INCRA’s famous incremental positioning capa-
bilities, you’ll soon be duplicating cut off lengths with
machine shop precision.

Zeroing the Fence Scales
To zero the main fence scale for 90° work, rst set
the protractor to the 0° setting and lock in place.
Clamp the Flip Shop Stop to the fence so that the 0”
mark on the fence scale reads directly under the end
of the gold component of the Flip Shop Stop, Fig. 16.
Now loosen the (2) 1/4-20 socket head screws that
secure the fence to the fence mounting bracket and
slide the fence toward the blade until the Flip Arm on
the stop contacts the blade. Re-tighten the fasteners,
Fig. 16A.
For stopped cuts beyond the range of the main fence
you’ll need to calibrate the extender bar scale. Clamp
the INCRA Flip Shop Stop to the 4” fence extend-
er. (Use the scale on the short section of fence as a
reference for clamping the stop to the same position
each time you use it.) Now loosen the 1/4-20 socket
head screw located at the end of the longer fence and
slide the 4” fence and extender bar out. Use a tape
measurer to set the distance between the blade and
the Flip Arm at 25” and re-tighten the fastener, Fig. 17.
Now simply slide the scale in the extender bar to read 25”
at the end of the longer main fence section, Fig. 17A.

For mitered cutting, a test cut is often the most accurate
means of setting the fence and extender bar scales since
measuring to the tooth of a blade set at an angle to the
fence can be difcult. Begin by setting the desired miter
angle and check for safe clearance between the fence and
blade. Clamp the stop to the fence about 10” away from
the blade. Miter a piece of scrap stock with this setup.
Measure the length of the cut piece, Fig. 18. Then sim-
ply slide the scale on the fence to read the length of the
cut directly under one end of the stop.

Micro Adjusting
To micro adjust your Flip Shop Stop’s position, begin by
loosening the (2) socket head screws located on the top
of the stop body. Now turn the micro adjust socket head
screw to ne tune the stop position, Fig. 19. When un-
screwing the micro adjust screw, apply pressure to the
stop body to keep it against the screw end. After adjust-
ment, always tighten the (2) socket head screws on top
of the stop body.
Flip Arms and Stop Rods
The dual ip arms and stop rods provide a variety of
stop congurations. The ip arms can be used without
the stop rods when you want to take advantage of the
fence/arm tongue and groove feature for stop control on
mitered board ends. Typically, you will use the longer
rod to join the two arms together, Fig. 20. This pro-
duces an arrangement that, when pivoted, moves both
arms simultaneously. The rod can be positioned so that
it is the actual stop surface or it can be positioned slight-
ly behind the front of the arm so that the aluminum arm
is the actual stop surface.
By placing one of the shorter 1-1/2” rods in each of the
two stop arms, you can use the two stop arms inde-
pendently, Fig. 21. For example, you can calibrate one
for work to the left of the blade and the other for work
to the right. On one side of the blade you might want to
position the stop rods to provide two different cut off
lengths from one stop position. By using varying combi-
nations of long or short rods you can create as much as
7-3/4” between the two stop positions.
Making a Zero Clearance Wooden Sub-Fence
A sub-fence can be used to provide tear out control as
well as support for your workpiece up to and beyond
the blade. A good material to use for making your zero
clearance sub-fence is 3/4” medium density berboard
(MDF). Use the drill and counter bore dimensions
shown in Fig. 22. Attach using the supplied fasteners.
Adjust the length of the fence to accommodate your ap-
plication. Note: In applications where the incremental
stopping capability of the Flip Shop Stop is required, the
wooden sub fence can be no taller than 2-1/2”.

Incra’s fence mounting bracket enables any fence to be
quickly and easily adjusted for perfect squareness to
the table. We have provided two adjustment points
so you can also neutralize twist or thickness variation
that is sometimes present in homemade wooden fenc-
es or sub-fences.
1) Place a square against the front face of your fence.
If you see a gap between the top of the fence and your
square rst loosen both outside nuts. Tighten one of in-
side nuts about 1/6 turn against the rear leg of the brack-
et as shown in Fig. 24, and then tighten the other inside
nut by the same amount in the same direction against
the rear leg. Alternate this 1/6 turn procedure between
the two nuts until the fence is perfectly square to the ta-
ble. DO NOT TURN THE SET SCREW and DO NOT
over tighten the nuts. It usually takes less than one full
turn of the nuts to square your fence to the table.
If you see a gap between the bottom of your fence and
the square, rst loosen both inside nuts. Tighten one of
outside nuts about 1/6 turn against the rear leg of the
bracket as shown in Fig. 25, and then tighten the other
outside nut by the same amount in the same direction
against the rear leg. Alternate this 1/6 turn procedure
between the two nuts until the fence is perfectly square
to the table. DO NOT TURN THE SET SCREW and
DO NOT over tighten the nuts. It usually takes less
than one full turn of the nuts to square your fence to the
table.
2) After the fence has been squared to the table as de-
scribed above, tighten both of the loose nuts against the
rear leg of the bracket to secure your setting, Fig. 26.
DO NOT TURN THE SET SCREW.
