seems like a good deal to me.

those of you not familiar with Incra - their technology uses a toothed rack to give rapid and accurate positioning on 1/32" boundaries (plus a calibrated micropositioner for in-between settings) so you can make repeated and incremental router cuts (like box joints). without all the measuring.

The Incra stuff is pretty high tech, but pretty pricy. I do like the anodized color though.

I love the gold anodized aluminum and the look of high tech and quality feel of Incra stuff.
As for the price, consider what you get for $90 on sale for $50 at Rockler right now:

http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21306&site=ROCKLER

A 32" long fence, consisting of aluminum L-bracket with bit cutout, melamine faces, bit safety guard. You need to pay extra for dust port and T-track to mount this to your table.

For the Incra at $129 you get the precision rack positioning system, plus fence stop and right angle fence for box joints. Plus box joint templates. If you look at the positioning rack that's worth the difference right there. esp. if The Incra on sale vs. the Rockler at full price

Seems like a good solution / deal if you have the table depth this thing looks to require.

question

This will work with the table saw as well?
sorry if its a dumb question.

[LCHIEN]

they sell a version with longer travel for table saw rip fence.

http://incra.com/product_tsf_lsts.htm

four or five hundred dollars for rails, positioner, fence and 32 or 52 inch rip width.

you can add an outrigger support for the positioner. Doesn't need to be the full width of the table.

The wood whisperer just talked about this on the podcast. Marc talked about how he hated the Incra table saw fence, but found the precision for the router fence extremely helpful. I think I'd have to agree. This looks like a great deal ($15 shipping for me though), but I think I'll stick to my Beisemeyer fence for the TS.
