Q: What machines can I use this jig with?
It mounts on a drill press, bandsaw or router table, making it useful for cutting dovetails, box joints and decorative inlaid joints on whichever machine is set up in the shop.

Unlike other jigs and fences, Incra systems move the work relative to the cutter by means of a direct-reading fence that locks in exact 1/32" increments. Suitable for drill presses, bandsaws, etc., they excel on a router table for making dovetails, box joints and decorative inlaid joints. To set up, simply index the cursor to an Imperial scale or to set positions on a joint template for repeatable accuracy and an incredibly close fit between parts. Versatile, precise, and easy to use.
The LS Positioner is made from anodized aluminum and is micro-adjustable. A toothed rack within the clamping mechanism engages a 5/8" dia., 32 tpi stainless-steel lead screw for precise fence placement (within 0.002" over the full range), and a wheel micro-adjusts in 0.001" increments during set-up.
The locking mechanism has an easy-reading cursor and a quick-release with three settings: locked, unlocked and an intermediate setting for micro-adjustment. A micro-adjustable stop allows precise positioning along the fence, and a telescoping extension allows stopped cuts in extra-wide or long stock.
The body has an Imperial scale, a sliding scale that can be set to any reference point, an auto-centering scale to speed set-up and two template channels. We offer two models, with 17" or 25" of travel, that include a positioner, fence, right-angle fixture and fence stop.
Reference guide and 51-piece template set (for plain or inlaid finger and dovetail joints), and an 82-minute instructional DVD included. Positioner sold separately or with the Incra Wonder Fence, which expands the capabilities of the LS Positioner to include molding, panel raising, edge jointing and sliding dovetails. The Wonder Fence is also available separately.

Yes, the quick-release has an intermediate position built specifically for micro-adjustment, letting the fence move in 0.001 inch steps without unlocking it completely.
Choose the 25-inch system for wider stock or larger box-joint layouts; the 17-inch system covers most standard drawer and box widths and costs less for shops that don't need the extra travel.
The Incra LS positioner ships with the positioner body, a fence, a right-angle fixture, a fence stop, a reference guide, a 51-piece template set and an instructional DVD covering setup and use.
The lead screw and rack combination places the fence within 0.002 inch over the full travel range, which is tight enough for finger joints and box joints to fit without gaps.
