The quality of the router table will affect your results. For an Incra system to perform
properly, the router mounting plate must fit without play in the table opening, and the
reducing rings around the router bit must be very level with the surrounding plate.

A wooden router table encourages using knobs through the plywood threaded into T-nuts inserted into the underside of the router table. For a cast iron table saw top, an INCRA Miter Slider can be attached to the bottom of the plywood platform, and then the Miter Slider can lock the plywood platform and LS positioner into the saw’s miter slot where it can be used with the router table.

For box joints and dovetails, give it an afternoon and practice with poplar before you get into the middle of an important project. The joinery instructions are clear, and the video is a fantastic companion. It’s not much different than learning to use a conventional dovetail jig.

To make the mating cuts into the other board, you would stop at each line labeled “B” on the template and make a cut. The lines on the templates correspond to the mechanical 1/32” increments of the positioner, and those mechanics position the fence with an accuracy 5 to 10 times better than your eyesight looking through the cursor onto the template.

The sub fences can be used with the halves offset for edge jointing or moulding, allowing zero clearance in a situation where an insert can’t be used. It’s economical because there’s no need to buy replacement inserts, and it’s fast because there is no second or third cutting operation necessary to accommodate router bits with pilot bearings.

The adjustable hardware will use the existing holes in the saw in 95% of installations. Extension wings and side tables are not required, as the rails mount only to the central part of the saw's top.
If your saw is more than 28-1/2" deep, TS-LS systems are available with a longer fence and base support panel to handle saws up to 35" deep. Smaller saws such as bench-top and jobsite saws may need drilling and will generally need support legs under the rails.

The TS Rail System is not compatible with Ryobi saws or the Jet Super Saw when it's equipped
with Jet's sliding table accessory.See the TS Compatibility Table for more information.

Note: INCRA TS Router Tables are designed to work with saws 27"-28" deep.

Combinations including TS router tables and routing accessories include a huge amount of INCRA equipment, so setting up the entire saw/router system normally takes an afternoon.

The current width of the saw and its various extensions isn't a factor when choosing between the
32"- and 52"-capacity systems, but the long rails of the TS-LS 52" will be a closer match for an existing wooden right-side extension table if your current rip fence has 50"+ capacity.

The TS-LS 52" has 92" rails, and the overall width is 122" when set for maximum rip. The right-hand ends of the rails are typically set 65" from the blade.

Because the rip fence performs perfectly with wide open spaces on either side of the saw, you have flexibility in deciding how to lay out the system…you might keep your saw's metal wings, replace a wing with a router table, reuse an existing wooden extension table, or build an extension table from scratch.

The right-side table helps fill in that area of the saw and doesn't require moving the base assembly for routing, but it also limits routing capacity, limits access around the router, and forces you to lower the router bit to get back to sawing operations. The right-side router table also requires legs, which is a consideration if you move your saw frequently.

The left side table allows full capacity, much better access around the router, and doesn't require the use of legs. It does require sliding the TS base assembly down the rails (there are stops for repeatability), and there is less work space in front of the fence – roughly the same amount as on most center-mount stand-alone router tables.
