Now available in metric!
The
LS17 Fence Positioner is the perfect upgrade for INCRA Router Systems using the
earlier Ultra Positioners, and it's also the ideal foundation for any custom
system that would benefit from its 1/1000" accuracy and repeatability. In addition to router table applications, the
compact size of the LS17 makes it also work well for positioning band saw
fences, drill press fences, etc.
Now available in both metric and imperial
versions, the LS is the beefiest positioner we've ever produced, with
rock-solid fence travels of 17", 430mm, 25", 32", or 810mm. Lifting the red locking lever causes the
patented steel lead screw positioning system to instantly snap the fence to the
dead center of any multiple of 1/32" or 1mm with an accuracy of 0.002"
(0.05mm). This allows fence positioning
far beyond what's possible by eyesight alone, and fence setups are instantly
repeatable. The integrated micro adjust
knob allows moving between whole increments with 0.001" (0.025mm) resolution
for total control over small fence adjustments.
The
lead screw adds quite a bit of mass, and because it's used for both incremental
positioning and the micro adjust, the LS has fewer moving parts than the
previous Ultra positioner. Other
improvements include recessed, "big view" cursor windows, a large
micro adjust knob conveniently located next to the fence, and all of the
functions are now controlled by a single lever. And, quite simply, the sleek design is a
handsome addition to any modern shop.
An engraved steel primary scale, Lexan secondary scale, and
Auto Center Scale (imperial model only) are included standard. The steel fence mounting bracket accepts
1/4"-20 fasteners and is slotted vertically to accommodate several fence
options and positioner installation heights.
The LS17 is directly compatible with the Pro-II Joinery Fence and the
stand-alone Wonder Fence 37.
