Please take just a few minutes of your time to read

your new INCRA TWIN LINEAR ownerʼs manual.

Youʼll find it full of interesting and useful information

about safety, setting up, and putting to use the many

wonderful features of the TWIN. And itʼs all written

by someone who continues to use every INCRA

product from the very first INCRA Jig all the way up

to our best offering ever — the INCRA TWIN LINEAR!

In eight years of using one INCRA Jig or another

virtually every weekend (and some week nights) Iʼve

come to know these tools inside out. In writing this

manual I want to share this experience with you. Iʼve

attempted to make everything as clear as possible,

but if you are in doubt, weʼll be here to help. See

you in the shop!
