    Mine probably was or close too from factory but I would never know. I only just purchased it with my mitre express and made the mods as per another current thread. This involved making the fence longer and I had just finished them with the fence extended to full capacity when I was rushing to clean up and I walked into the edge it. 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.
