Thread: Just received the TS-LS 52" fence!

52" ?

Do you mean 32" positioner or 72" rails ? I didn't think incra made a 52" stroke positioner ? If they do I need to order one

I can't say I'm surprised your happy. They really are revolutionary things...everything just works..

Ah-ha... Looks like you are going to be out of pocket then!

INCRA TS-LS Joinery System - 52" Range

Do you already own a router table that you want to incorporate into your saw? The TS-LS Joinery System consists of a 32" (810mm)- or 52" (1320mm)-capacity TS-LS Rip Fence System and a complete package of our best routing equipment:

Wonder Fence Shaper-Style Router Fence

Jumbo Right Angle Fixture

Shop Stop Fence Stop

Master Reference Guide and Joinery Templates

LS Instructional DVD

Add our steel router table installation hardware (TSRTHW) as an accessory to save yourself the time and effort of fabricating your own method of attaching your router table to the INCRA TS Rails.

The INCRA TS router tables shown are sold separately from the TS-LS Joinery System. For a TS-LS System that includes a router table, check out TS

Must say I love Incra's stuff, pity it's darn expensive over here. I've just bought the ibox from incrementaltools.com and shipped it over here $100 less. The ibox is brilliant by the way, absolutely love it.

I've just had this discussion with another customer yesterday The i-Box is listed at USD 169.99 USPS to Australia is USD 79.60 less $10 discount = USD 239.50

Adjust for Exchange Rates and Bank Charges = $247 - $248 AU

LOCAL PRICE = $250 plus GST ($275.00) with free delivery.

I'm not justifying our pricing, just questioning your "$100 less" claim.

At the time the exchange rate was $1.05. I also received a 15% discount from Incremental. Total $140 or so, just have to wait for my CC statement (shipping to US location = free).

I also shipped using a less expensive method which was delivered to a U.S postal address then on-forwarded. Sometimes I have to wait a few weeks for the goods to actually ship because I'm waiting for space on a small air container to fill with other orders from other people. Total $42.

Total cost = $185 delivered, no GST.

I know I should be buying from local suppliers however my budget is tight and if I can gain any advantage, then I will. At the end of the day, this is a superb product. So I apologise, I was $10 out.

Grahame, I eagerly await your cost breakdown.

Well the bubble has burst and cheap buying from USA has slipped away. The exchange rate (Via Visa including the overseas taxation fee for OS transactions via visa....banks have to charge this...something many don't realize) equates now to 0.94 and falling. That means that $100USD costs us now $106AUD.......tide has turned the other way

I bought my iBox from Graham because for the little extra that it cost me was not enough to worry about when I know that if there is any product defect or issue I can just return it easily as I leave a few minutes away, plus I can see the products first hand, etc. I've always preferred point of sale purchasing then mail order unless not available here.

Looks like I was wrong, I just checked my Incra jig and it has the 32" stroke with the ability to be adjusted to rip to 52", via 96" Rails.(I think they are 96")

Hi Dave

You're right, Incra only make 3 size LS Positioner bodies 17, 25 & 32 the 52" range is achieved by repositioning the unit 20" further along the rail. No big deal really.

However unless you really need this feature the 32" is better as the 93" rails incurr a lot of extra transport costs.

Hey Grahame,
I was happy with the extra costs of the rails, as I do cut some big boards occasionally.

Right, that's what I thought. I'll stop scouring the website then...

I'd have the longer rails if i could get them at a sensible price. I'm forever running out of throat. My router is to the right of my blade though.... The motor protrudes to the left so I'd need to space a left router table out about 6".

Hi Grahame,
I reckon the 90" (roughly 8 feet) rails are well worth the extra cost. In the years since I bought mine from you (in the early days) they have been absolutely invaluable. With my Jet table saw and the full Incra set-up over a router table with one of your router lifters and the Incra router table support system, I just cannot imagine my workshop without it. While I look upon all my woodworking purchases over the years as good investments, I reckon the Incra system including the 96?" rails is one of the best. With retirement just around the corner I'm looking forward to really getting to enjoy it even more.
Cheers,
Graeme Carson.
