square cut board
up to contact the
“high spot” on the
router bit
Second: Clamp
the Shop Stop to
the fence with the
stop surface as
close as possible
to the board.

turn, then rotate micro adjust screw
clockwise until stop surface touches
end of board. Tighten the
black thumbscrews.
Fourth: Slide scale to
read directly under end
of gold stop cap. Use
one of the initial
scale settings
described
in Fig.13.

Slide scale on your fence to one of three initial positions
A
Slide scale to 0" for
a direct readout of
dimension “A” (total
length of cut)
B
Slide scale to “minus

dimension “C”
Zeroing at the Router Table:
For most applications at the router table you will be using your Shop Stop on
the outfeed fence to limit the length of a cut relative to the front end of a board.
Follow the steps in Fig. 12 below.
Calibrating the Shop Stop
for your Workstation:
In order for your INCRA Shop Stop to
accurately locate your workpiece for a cut, you
must first “zero” your Shop Stop to the bit or
blade and position the sliding scale on your
fence. Zeroing is often just as simple as
clamping your Shop Stop to the fence with the
stop surface just touching the bit or blade. You
want the stop surface to be zero distance from
the cutter, so a little micro adjusting might be
required. Once this zero position is found, slide
the scale on your INCRA Fence to read “0”
directly under one end of the gold stop cap. This
approach, however, wonʼt handle every situation
in the shop. Sometimes, as in the case of a
router or drill bit, it becomes necessary to use an
indirect approach to setting the initial scale
position. For zeroing at the router table, drill
press and crosscut stations, a step-by-step
approach ensures an easy and accurate setup.
See Figs. 12 thru 15 for the steps.
Note:
The vertical stop arm is the stop
surface illustrated in all of the examples to
follow, but donʼt rule out the use of the
horizontal rod for your stop surface.
Once the Shop Stop is zeroed to the router bit
as shown in Fig. 12, you now have the choice
of setting the sliding scale on your INCRA
Fence to one of three initial positions.
See Fig. 13.
