3. Attach IBOX to GlideLOCK™ Miter Bar 

Assembly   

Position the IBOX fence on the GlideLOCK™ Miter 

Bar Assembly with the red knob on the left end for left 

tilting saws or on the right end for right tilting saws.  

Insert the (2) #10-24 x 3/8” button head fasteners 

through the slotted holes in the fence and thread 

into the holes on the GlideLOCK™ Miter Bar.  Don’t 

tighten the fasteners just yet.  With your table saw 

unplugged, raise the dado up about 1/2” then slide 

the IBOX so that the cutter is inside the tall notch 

in the fence.  Carefully slide the IBOX to the left or 

right until the blade “kisses” the steel pin plates on 

the IBOX, Fig. 4 and Detail 4A.  Make sure that 

the IBOX is firmly in contact with the alignment plate 

on the GlideLOCK™ assembly then tighten the (2) 

button head fasteners to secure the fence to the bar.  

Lower the blade.  NOTE:  If you later move the 

IBOX to another table saw or your router 

table, you will need to reset the miter bar’s 

position as described in steps 1-3 above for 

the table saw or as described in steps 1-2 

on page 4 for the router table.  
Continue by skipping ahead to the section 

titled “STOCK LEDGES, BLADE GUARDS 

AND BACKING BOARD” on page 5.

SETTING UP AT THE ROUTER TABLE

1. Adjust GlideLOCK™ Miter Bar 

Assembly   

Drop the GlideLOCK™ Miter Bar Assembly 

into your router table’s miter slot.  Now adjust 

the GlideLOCK™ expansion discs at each 

end of the bar to adjust the fit for a smooth 

glide in your router table’s miter slot.  Turn the 

fasteners clockwise to make the glide tighter 

or counterclockwise for a looser glide, Fig. 5.  

The alignment plate is factory squared but can 

be re-adjusted as required by loosening the (2) 

button head fasteners.
