Capitalizing on a great idea, the folks a INCRA® have combined their highly successful Miter3000® with the exclusive AngleLOCK® Indexing System with a sled system for the table saw. The sled with T-track and clamping fixture secures the workpiece as one solid unit for precision cross-cutting at any angle. The right-hand portion of the sled, once cut, secures to the right miter slot of your table saw by means of a miter slider and functions as a zero clearance cut-off table that's perfectly aligned with the main sled. Since this system includes precision angle adjustment, stop positioner and clamping sled for superior workpiece control, all possibility for cutting error has been eliminated and each cut is predictable and precise. Finally, a perfect cross-cutting system for your table saw! Order the replacement Panel for maintaining zero clearance for different blades and compound angle cutting. Please see above for Miter3000® specifications.
The Miter 5000 Table Saw Miter Gauge blends the incremental angle control features of the Miter 3000SE with a very special 3-panel Sled for the ultimate miter cutting workstation for the table saw. The sled with two aluminum T-tracks and clamping fixture secures the work piece as one solid unit for precision cross-cutting at any angle. The tracks are embedded in the MDF panel top to secure an included work piece hold-down clamp and to provide absolute rigid support for the 36- to 64-inch telescoping IncraLOCK Cuto-off Fence.
The right-hand portion of the sled, once cut, secures to the right miter slot of your table saw by means of a miter slider and functions as a zero clearance cut-off table that's perfectly aligned with the main sled. Since this system includes precision angle adjustment, stop positioner and clamping sled for superior work piece control, all possibility for cutting error has been eliminated and each cut is predictable and precise. Also featured with every Miter 5000 is a simple and incredibly useful hold down clamp which locks your work piece onto the sled for maximum accuracy and the cleanest cuts possible.
Ten expansion disks adjust both sides of the bar for zero side play, anti-friction travel on all table saws with standard 3/4-by-3/8-inch or near-standard miter gauge channels, including Delta, Craftsman, and imports. This means that all of Incra's incredible precision will actually show up in your work because the bar won't wiggle around in the miter slot. Also included are Special Edition Miter Fence telescopes from 18- to a full 31-foot length. The dual flip shop stop and Incra's patented automatic positioning control also come standard with this model. AngleLOCK Indexing Precision angle indexing teeth are laser cut in solid steel to lock in 364 positive angle stops in 1/2-degree increments over a full 180-degree range. Interlocking grooves in the fence and stop ensure even the sharp edge of mitered work will not push behind the stop. The fence locking bracket creates a monolithic rigid platform and fence when tightened down. Quickly set using the included standard hex tool, this feature takes an already strong platform into the rigidity level expected in any professional machining environment.

Mitre 5000 Sled for Precision:
Chances are you are like me and read these reviews as they influence your decision to buy. If so make sure you also read the installation section. In fact, I think for making a purchasing decisions this is the most important section to read. First and foremost. You are buying this tool for the accuracy that it will give you. As such if you do not want to put the time and effort into the pre-install preparation and the installation then you would be better off making your own sled and saving yourself... more info
Precision at it's "Best":
Decided to give up the homemade rickety gadgets and give the Incra Sled a try. What a surprise I got. This is absolutly the grandest invention. Precision and micro precision you just can't imagine with your woodworking. Suddenly everything I make using this sled has tight fitting joints. I am able to do this now cutting one piece or a hundred pieces. I am also ready to explore and introduce the rest of the Incra Line into my woodworking. Amazon, You made my woodworking life much easier by making these and... more info
It is what it says:
The sled is a well machined set of components. I happened to have a laminated shelf let over, plained it to match thickness, drilled some holes and made it my 45% section, saving $35. When I was considering my purchase, I actually recieved call-backs to my questions. I consider that very impressive customer service in today's markets. I did ad a plank to the cross cut fence to give me something to clamp to. I also cut some large holes through the platforms so I can hang them up when off of the... more info
Great in some ways, but with some dumb flaws:
I hate to be the dissenting voice, but I think this product falls short of ideal. It is sad, because all of the flaws could be easily corrected. The actual miter action (setting angles) is a bit slow, but very precise, and I like that component very much. The general concept is excellent as well. To put this in context, I have a JDS AccuMiter and several shop-built crosscut sleds for my 20 year old Unisaw. I was hoping to replace all of them with the Miter 5000. However, that won't be fully happening.... more info
