Three weeks ago, I bought a used Jointech Smart Miter Sled, and I can't say enough about this well designed miter sled. I honestly believe it makes me a better woodworker! Not sure how I lived without one in the past.
I especially love its measuring accuracy and repeatability. It also gives me increased capacity on my 30 inch table saw, and makes cutting angles a dream.
Anyone else out there love there's as much as I love mine?
I have Incra's 5000 miter sled...it is wonderful.
Jack,
Did you buy your sled at a show? If so, how much was it?
I was considering purchasing the In-line Industries Dubby Sled for $180, and although Jointech's sled looks tempting, I am not sure it is worth the extra $80 or so.
Thanks,
Eric
Eric, it is cost effective when you consider that you need 2 Dubby jigs to do what one SmartMiter does.Quote:

Sort of, I bought it used from a guy locally met him at the woodworking show where I bought it for $100. In the past years, I too looked real hard at the dubby, but I know now that the power of the sled is the accuarcy of the measuring. The sled click into whatever measurement you are trying to lock into. Its like having 1000s of positive stops. Also, you can cut any angle at whatever length you need, simply by reading the measurements.Quote:

I bought one last year and love it. I did a brief review of that purchase on my web site: Smart Miter Review
