Bushwacked Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 So I am thinking of picking one of these up for an upcoming project and just in general ... However, I am curious, would the telescoping option from them be better than the normal, sized ones? Like the 1000X series? Not sure how sturdy that arm is if I am pushing something lets say 35-40" long and maybe like 6/4 so kinda heavy ... The below is the 3000X series with this feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 They're plenty sturdy. I have one and I'm thinking of adding another for use at the router table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I have the one you pictured and also the 5000 sled and like Kev said they both are rock solid when extended out. The miter gauge I don't recall the longest piece I cut with it but I just erescently did some stuff at 54 inches. 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I have the V120 with the extension arm and it works great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I’m not sure of the model I have, but I made a fence out of plywood, that thing is to fancy for my shop, the other tools will get jealous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkinneb Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I have the 1000HD and with an attached sacrificial MDF fence, it works well. and plenty solid. Having said that I actually just picked up a Harvey MG-36 on sale so the 1000HD may be for sale after the first of the year ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm (sort of) in the market for a second one in the shop. I like my Incra but, am also intrigued by Harvey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I know but $279 on sale was only $80 more than the Incra ? I am tired of the plastic knurl nuts on the Incra and I never use all the graduations either. If this one meets my needs it will be worth it if not It will go back ? More to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh oh, I thought I had almost all the tools I needed, but after looking at this I might have an Incra for sale too. 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I was close to ordering it but then thought I would wait for Paul's review.
