I am looking for an aftermarket miter gauge that works w/ the TS3612. I have heard that the width of the track is not standard compare to the other more popular saws.
Anyone seen anything specifically that works w/ the TS3612?
TIA

I have a Incra 1000se that I use on my ts2400, It is dead-nuts acurate, and works perfectly on my saw. I do not use my miter was in the shop anymore.
Hope this helps some...

Jip, most good aftermarket gages have an adjustable-width miter bar so you should be OK on pretty much any miter gage, just make sure the bar is adjustable. Also, in a WW magazine out this month, there is a review on like 20 or 30 miter gages (saw it at barnes and nobel or something). It might be good to look up.

I have the non-standard slots and did not find that most aftermarket miter gauges were adjustable----Incra was one of the few that did----anyway, the 1000 has been fantastic with my Emerson-made saw.

I have the TS3612 & the Incra 1000SE works great with it. It has a fully adjustable miter bar width. If I remember correctly, you will need to remove the black expanding washers & it should fit great.
Also, it is still on sale at www.woodpeck.com for $117.95. According to an email I got from them this morning, that price will go up to either 129.95 or 139.95 after Labor Day.

Check out Woodhaven, they have a very basic yet well designed after market miter gauge, that you can add any number of options too. I have the deluxe model with the 32" fence.
FWIW I looked at the Incra, Rockler, Osborn(?)(fancy one Norm has) and I think there was at least one other before I stumbled on the Woodhaven and bought it. I touched and felt all of them. I purchased the woodhaven without touching it, which is very unusual for me.
Good luck!
Dave

I have the Incra 5000 and it is great. The incra manual is below average. The 3612 miter slot is indeed not standard but the manual describes what to do with the non standard craftsman table saws, just apply to the ridgid and it will work fine.

Rafael, for my information, what does the manual say to do with a non-standard miter slot?
