❒ When adjusting the fence opening, never
position the infeed or outfeed fence ends
closer than
1 / 8 " from the router bit.
❒ After making adjustments to the fence
positions, be sure to tighten the two socket
head cap screws through the large holes in
both the infeed and outfeed fences.
❒ When using fence settings in which the router
bit is partially recessed in the fence opening,
always insure that the bit is centered within
the opening.
❒ Never let the router bit come into contact with
the aluminum body of the INCRA Intelli-Fence
or INCRA Stop.
❒ Whenever using large diameter vertical or
horizontal panel raising bits or any other
large diameter bit, always follow that router
bit manufacturer’s operation and safety
recommendations.
❒ Whenever it is necessary to remove large
amounts of stock, always use multiple side
by side passes to achieve the final cut.
Several shallow cuts are safer and will
yield better results.
Please read this owner’s
manual before use and
keep it at hand for
reference.
T
he micro adjustable split fence design of
the INCRA Intelli-Fence ™ provides access
to many operations previously reserved
for specialty machines. From the straight
edge cutting abilities of the jointer to the
many edge forming functions performed
by the shaper, your new Intelli-Fence
offers a host of exciting new possibilities
for your router and shaper table.
It all starts with intelligent design
features. The opposing wedge design of
the infeed/outfeed offset mechanisms
permits very fine continuous adjustment of
the fence offset from zero to
1 / 8 ", and each
offset mechanism has its own hairline
cursor and scale marked off in
2 / 1000 of an
inch increments. Position the fences
“ in-line” for typical router table fence
operations, and with the included table
clamps, you can use the Intelli-Fence in
the freestanding mode. Or, you can mount
it directly to your INCRA Jig Ultra or Pro
for the ultimate router table fence setup.
It’s completely compatible with all INCRA
joint-making accessories. The unique
Hi-Rise
™ fence cap and an adjustable
fence opening take the hassle out of
working with large panels and large router
bits for panel raising operations. All these
features combined with the patented
INCRA Stop and a universal dust
collection port make the INCRA
Intelli-Fence the intelligent choice for
your router or shaper table.
