OPERATION
- CHANGING ANGLE SETTINGS
The dual actuator design of the INCRA Miter5000 provides
two levels of adjustment. The front actuator is used for
coarse adjustments (5°), while the rear actuator is used for
fine adjustments (1/2°). For most mitering work, you’ll have
the left-hand tooth of the rear actuator engaged at the 0°,
while you make angle changes using only the front actua-
tor. When using the rear actuator for fine adjustments, you
are simply adding or subtracting from the coarse adjustment
setting.
5° Indexing (including 22.5 and 67.5°) settings
1. Loosen the large clamping knob and make sure that the
rear actuator left hand tooth is engaged in the 0° notch on
the 1/2° adjustment plate. Loosen the front actuator thumb-
screw and pivot the actuator tooth away from the notches
located on the protractor head,
Fig. 19
.
2. Rotate the protractor head to the desired angle then
firmly engage the tooth on the front actuator with the cor-
responding notch on the protractor head. The actuator
tooth should point directly to the desired angle on the scale.
Tighten the large clamping knob, then tighten the front actu-
ator thumbscrew,
Fig. 20
.
1/2° Indexing
1. Loosen the large clamping knob. Loosen the front actua-
tor thumbscrew and pivot the actuator tooth away from the
notches located on the protractor head. Rotate the protrac-
tor head and engage the front actuator tooth at the 5° notch
closest to the angle you want. Tighten the front actuator
thumbscrew,
Fig. 21
.
2. Loosen the rear actuator thumbscrew. Use the left-hand
tooth to add or subtract from the coarse adjustment setting
in 1° intervals. Use the right-hand tooth to add or subtract
from the coarse adjustment setting in 1/2° intervals. En-
gage the tooth firmly in the selected notch then tighten the
large clamping knob and the rear actuator thumbscrew,
Fig.
22
.
Important: After completing your cut don’t
forget to return the rear actuator setting to the
0° notch.
Continuous Adjustments
For angle settings finer than the 1/2° settings, first use the
1/2° indexing instructions above to locate the protractor
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 ad-
justment and tighten the large clamping knob. Do not tight-
en the rear actuator thumbscrew. As with any mitering tool,
odd angle adjustments may require a little trial and error.
Caution: After making any adjustments to the miter angle of your
INCRA Miter5000, always verify safe clearance between the fence
and the blade before turning on the saw.
