Jessem Mite R Slide mounted to INCRA LS Positioner

[suds]

I know there have been some who have been dissatisfied with the Incra Right Angle fixture for doing dovetails and have found a way to mount the Jessem Mite R Slide to the Incra fence/LS Positioner. I remember seeing a wood block attachment but also a metal version to mount the two together. Wondered if anyone accomplished this and how it worked out. I found a good deal on a Miter R Slide and since I already have the Incra LS Positioner/Fence I thought I'd upgrade to a really good setup.

This thread has some ideas.  Start with reply #59.

The Mite R Slide is definitely a sexy piece of equipment and I've been thinking of doing the same thing (not because of any issues with Incra's right angle fixture).  There are two concerns I would have:

1.  Can the slider be easily installed/calibrated to be perfectly parallel with the Incra fence?  The Incra fixture rides along the fence, so it would seem to have an inherent advantage over a slider that is independently mounted.

2.  Can it be removed quickly when you're not using it?  The Incra fixture just lifts off in a second.

You mean like this..?

Yes, that's the setup except it is hooked up to a Incra LS/Fence and wondered if anyone here had done so and how it has worked out?

That is my setup pictured. It works great. I used a chunk of angle to bolt the two together and shims to square it up. It is the LS 25 positioner. Uses a miter slot piece to fasten to table saw slot with extension wing router mount.

I'm using the Incra Fence so mine will be a bit different but hopefully close. I remember seeing your setup in another thread along with a setup for the Incra fence.  How do you like the Jessem fence/right angle setup with the Incra Positioner?
