Make Your Cut
Now use your new Miter Express as you would any
miter gauge. Just set your miter angle, check for safe
clearance between your miter gauge’s fence and the blade
and make the cut,
Fig. 16
.
Be sure to read the accessories section of this manual
for information on the included Outboard Fence
Support and INCRA Hold Down Clamp.

Lock the Miter Gauge in Place
CAUTION: All THREE of the supplied cam screws
(Hardware Pack C-14) must be positioned and FIRMLY
TIGHTENED against the side of your miter gauge’s
miter bar. CONFIRM that your miter gauge is securely
locked in the Miter Express before making any cuts.
After determining your miter gauge’s position on the Miter
Express (
Step 2
,
Fig. 14A & 14B
), remove the gauge from
the receiving slot and install one of the three cam screws
in the threaded cutout that will be closest to the miter
gauge’s protractor head (either in front or behind is OK as
long as it will bear against the miter bar). Install the other
two cam screws so they will be adjacent to any other two
points along the miter bar,
Fig. 15A
Use the supplied

/
8
” hex key to tighten each cam screw as
far down as it will go, THEN back it out one full turn. Now
rotate each cam screw clockwise until there is enough
head clearance for the miter bar to drop all the way into
the receiving slot. Continue tightening each cam screw
until it is FIRMLY tightened against the miter bar.
NOTE: When properly installed, each cam screw will
be roughly centered on the 3/8” thickness of the miter
bar. This means the cam screws should bear against
the middle of the miter bar, NOT the very top and NOT
the very bottom, Fig. 15B.

Outboard Fence Support
For heavy duty applications, use the included outboard
fence support to provide a rock solid backing for the end
of your miter gauge’s fence. To use the support, open
Hardware Pack C-15. Loosely install one of the ¼-20 x ¾”
hex bolts with washer and ¼-20 knob through the hole in
the outboard fence support, then slide the head of the bolt
into the T-slot on the panel connector,
