The force was such that it bent the locking mechanism on the HD protractor head as well as the most important reference point.... the teeth around the zero degree mark. I hadn't yet installed the outfeed locking clamp to stiffen the fence which may have prevented the issue. Hence a call into the boys at Incra in the US and about $80 bucks later the new protractor head and locking mechanism arrived for my already new mitre gauge. I can laugh now but there were some tears shed when I realised what I had damaged before I even got to use it.
So long story short, I had to dismantle it anyway so it was a good chance to dial in the accuracy myself.

But you do pay the price for stupidity.


Thanks.

Hi Trav... an old thread I know, but from your post I get the impression its possible to order Incra direct from the States. Its difficult to get the complete range in Australia..... Gary

I've ordered from their website a few times. The only problem is postage can get fairly high

If you do order from the USA, consider using comGateway or https://www.shopandship.com.au/ or even https://shopmate.auspost.com.au/

These give you a local USA address which you may be able to leverage for cheap/free post, then you only pay a small base rate plus $/kg to bring it over. It works out much cheaper than relying on vendors using FedEx etc.
