It's Finally here... The Precision Plate for Incra Positioners!!

[bkharman]

It is mainly for people with MFT and CMS-VL. I use it for routing, cutting and alike. If you ever had to use the stock CMS fence, you would understand a lot quicker! 

Cheers. Bryan.

Thanks Bryan! I have no need for one then.

Longtime lurker, I just bought the CMS-VL basic table, the Incra 25 Super System and the Precision Dog plate.

Concerned I'm going to want that sliding table and hose though...

This community rocks.

I got the sliding table and Y hose at the time of purchase so I never knew better.

Enjoy the setup, I love mine almost 3 years later!!

Hi guys,

I have a LS positionner but the steel rule on it has zero on the right side.
If I put it on the left side, the numbers will be upside down.

I can't find a replacement metric steel rule that has the zero on the left side, how did you do ?

Hy, your ruler is right. If you position the fence against the blade, zero has to be under the hairlinecurser of the positionner.
now you can slide the fence away from the blade and reed the difference under the hairline. sorry for my bad english. :-[

Have a look at these rules

You might be able to use the lexan ones

Yep thanks, I've seen them, but cannot source the steel version which would have been nice

Gonna drop an email to INCRA support and see what they say

 

[ach_78]

Also, what is the maximum lenght can be cut with the LS positionner base set as far left as possible (with 2 las holes used) and the MFT rail in it's standard position (meaning not especially shifted to the right) ?

Starrett has English/Metric left to right in the USA.  Not sure about metric only.

I am not sure I understand the question. Do you mean the distance between the router bit (or saw blade) and the fence face?  If so, it is whatever LS positioner you have.

A LS 25 will give you about 24" from face to bit/blade. If you move the plate to the last set of holes you will have about 4 feet or so since you are taking the table length.

If you have multiple MFTs you could go back really far (not that it is a good thing!).

Hope this helps.

Cheers. Bryan.

What I mean is, say you have a stock MFT and install a LS positionner using that plate in the left-most position. What is the distance between the LS fence fully retracted and the cut ?

This distance should not depend on the the LS positionner

I will have to measure it when I am back in my shop.

Distance is just under a meter. Right around 90cm with the split fence in and would be at about 97cm without it.

Hope this helps.

So does Festool offer a way to buy most everything in included in the CMS-VL set the fence?  That would make this a lot more appealing.  Don't really want to pay for two fences I don't think.  Their website seems to be non-functional when it comes to router tables right now, so I can't really check.

Is the idea here that the Incra LS or TS or whatever serves as a router table fence and acts as a accurate stop for repeatable cuts using the MFT rail?  Does the Incra fence MFT combo provide other functions as well?

Sorry for so many questions - thanks!

bkharmon, your setup looks superb, am I right is saying that you also have the ts module for your setup? could you post some pictures and give a little info? I have a mft3 and just ordered the cms vl. I am very intrested in the saw setup as well as the incra system.
kindest regards

This is great timing. I picked up an incra set up over the weekend from a woodworker leaving town, the whole shebang incra router table with woodpeckers lift. Porter-Cable 7518. Tree fiddy[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

I'm hoping someone chimes in here as to there experiences with the ts module for the cms or preferably the cms-vl as I have on in the mail

Originally I was thinking along the same lines as you and couldn't find a way to buy the CMS-VL set without the festool fence.  Long story short I bought the set and the festool fence does complement the Incra fence.  I install a 3" long 1/2" spiral router bit and use the festool fence as a jointer to cleanup/shave down the edge of whatever I'm working on. 

I had a kitchen door that was 2mm wider then it should have been so I used the festool fence to take off 1mm from each side (shaker door).  It was faster and more accurate then trying to use the table saw or track saw.
