The INCRA Build-It assembly shown in the instructions that follow was chosen to illustrate a configuration using
all of the main components of the system and requiring each of the few simple assembly and trimming operations that are likely
to be encountered when putting the components together. Just remember that the example shown is by no means the only
configuration possible. By using different combinations of the Build-It Panels, T-Slot Panel Connectors and Miter Sliders,
hundreds of highly useful configurations are possible - like those shown on the opposite side of this instruction card. And
that’s just the beginning!
Also, keep in mind that while the table saw chosen to illustrate these instructions is an important candidate for sliding jigs
and fixtures, there are many other stations in the shop that will benefit from the increased safety, accuracy and repeatability
afforded by shop-made jigs. The NEW INCRA Miter Slider owner’s manual includes specific plans for some useful common and
specialty jigs that take advantage of the unique features of the Built-It System’s components. Don’t forget to check out the variety
of great books already available on the subject of beneficial jigs and fixtures for your workshop. Now let’s get started...
1. Adjust Miter Slider and Attach Build-It Panel
While many tools in your shop like the band saw, router table or sanding
station have only one miter channel, the table saw has two, and often a
choice must be made to determine on which side of the blade the “business”
side of your jig will slide. In choosing, just remember that for any cut requiring
a tilted saw blade, you’ll want the blade to tilt safely away from the main
components of your jig, and most importantly, away from your hands. All of
the instructions to follow will illustrate only a left side of blade assembly.

Begin by adjusting an INCRA Miter slider at each of the expansion
mechanism locations for a good sliding fit in your table saw’s miter slot.
Now attach a small Build-It Panel to the Miter Slider as shown in Fig. 1 using
the (4) 10-24 x 3/4” flat head Phillips screws supplied with the Miter Slider.

2. Attach Panel Connectors
Using the supplied 10-24 x 1/2” flat head Phillips screws, attach a panel
connector to each side of the small Build-It panel, Fig. 2. CAUTION: Make
sure that no part of the aluminum Panel Connector overlaps the
projected line of cut!
This simple assembly can be used for a variety of jigs. The T-slots on the
twin Panel Connectors provide an easy and secure means of attaching
the components of your jig’s design to the sliding Build-It platform using
standard 1/4-20 hex bolts. Just take a look at the tenoning & raised
panel cutting fixture in Fig. 3, then let’s keep building.
