Cabinet Saw or European Slider

[John Lankers]

Thanks, John. I appreciate the explanation...it makes perfect sense! 99% of the time, I've use the standard miter fence on my MM slider for normal "dead nuts" 90º cuts, but for a commission I'm currently building, I needed to actually use it for angled cuts at 15º. Like I do when I have the blade tilted, I utilized a sacrificial fence clamped to the unit to provide perfect registration to the blade path. (something I always did with the cabinet saw and the Incra miter I used with it) I suspect you'd do the same with the Incra on the slider wagon. The miter unit I'm referring to can be seen on the right side of this photo...

Absolutely, occasionally I even use blue tape when a backer board won't work .
The Incra is just easier to set for small picture frames or other intricate cuts, especially for compound miters - not necessarily more accurate.
