LS25 Wonderfence Review
By C. Koennecke
My first impression of this system was when I picked up the box from the front porch and nearly dropped it. It's much heavier than I was expecting, the LS positioner and the Wonder Fence components, in particular. It seemed like there were metal parts packed into every nook and cranny in the box. The "Made in the U.S.A." label was a welcome sight. This is really, really nice stuff.Assembling the system was uneventful, with the Wonder Fence and LS positioner 95% complete. You do need to assemble the smaller fixtures. Instructions are very detailed and clear, but there are several short manuals instead of one giant book that covers everything. I figured it out pretty easily. The Wonder Fence slides into a slot on the main fence and is adjustable like a shaper for larger router bits, and a set of wedges offsets the fence halves in very precise amounts for edge jointing or moulding jobs (I still don't own a jointer). My inner gearhead is quite pleased that the fence surfaces are machined flat...a really nice touch that shows a commitment to the basics instead of flashy gizmos.As others have mentioned, it's best to have a pretty big router table with these systems. It really works fine on a smaller table, you just don't have as much capacity back from the bit. The instructions do cover the basics of adding an extension onto a smaller table, which I did to mine, and it works well enough while I save up for the big 43" Incra table (and router lift, I hope).The LS25 positioner is quite stout, with the red lever locking down the carriage with a solid "thunk". With the fence attached, it's much more rigid than I had guessed with the locking lever so far from the fence. This is a mechanical positioner that uses two sets of threads to position the fence on perfect 1/32" increments, and it really is accurate to .001" (I checked) even without using the micro adjust that allows moving between the 1/32" increments. Forget about tapping the fence into position. Fence setups are also repeatable because of this matched set of threads. Awesome!!I've only done one set of dovetails in poplar for practice. They were good, but not quite perfect...the room for improvement is with me, not the system. The instructions for box joints and dovetails are great and quite short, so all but the most impatient people will be successful. The DVD is fantastic and very professionally done, showing the basic functions and then showing the entire processes for box joints and several types of dovetails.This isn't a cheap system, but it's very clear that it's intended to be a long term investment. It's a tremendous value: you can't buy an American-made table saw for less than $1,700, but a $400 Incra fence system has enough accuracy to completely change how you work. If you're using the tap-tap method of setting your router fence, the speed and accuracy of setting up for everyday routing jobs will spoil you on the first day. I'm convinced that I would get my money's worth with this system even if I never made a dovetail.

By John C. Rutledge
It is not often that I purchase something and am left without a trace of buyers remorse, so my purchase of the Incra 25" LS positioner has been a refreshing experience. This system has so impressed me that I recently bought Incra marking and layout tools and their SE1000 miter attachment for my table saw. I fully expect to buy the fence system for my table saw as well.The LS positioner makes it dirt simple to be dead accurate with the fence on my router table. Setup was easy and straight forward. Unfortunately the 25" version was too big for my router table so I was "forced" to make a new one. The dove tails were so easy and fast to setup and cut that the new router table has twenty three dovetailed drawers that look and function as they should. I just got the thing a couple weeks ago so I've only begun to scratch the surface of what it can do. I am a self taught woodworker and it has so changed the way that I look at things in the shop that I can tell I have been transformed as as woodworker. If you don't have one, GET ONE.

I don't normally do product reviews. In my experience many things are "ok", but they really don't warrant my time to write a review. The LS positioner by INCRA is not even close to "most things." I watched the expertly done sales video's and thought, Ok, this guy is a pro, maybe in twenty years I might be able to do that too if the tool stays together that long. I thought that there is no way the fence can be solid when it is almost 3 feet from the base when extended. I installed the LS on a piece of plywood in my table saw miter slot like their FAQ says you can do, so I expected that would cause some degradation of performance. Let me just say, those things are not the case at all. The fence is rock solid even mounted on the plywood, and my first set of dovetails in some scrap were every bit as good and easy as the guy's in the video. He obviously has more experience than I do, but even so I cut perfect dovetails just using the setup guide in the book, and they were just as easy as it looks in the video. As far as the fence staying together, I have no doubt that it will still make someone very happy when I someday retire from my wood working endeavors, that thing is well built and should last every bit as long as my table saw, maybe even longer. If you are on the fence, thinking the same things I was, just get it. You will not regret it. I also have an Incra miter gage, I literally threw away my stock miter gage, I will never use it again. These guys have some high end tools that will not disappoint.
