Yes! Really! The distance that the hook moves exactly the thickness of the hook. The hook on the end of a measuring tape is supposed to move. That way you won't be asking yourself, 'Why is this off by 1/32?' or more. Put the tape against the fence and use a right leaning tooth on the saw blade to read the exact distance. Use a single measuring tape for your project. The simple reason is that you can't use that ruler to measure the rest of your project. Great but not worth the effort.Īs far as the accuracy of any fence ruler, the advice here is don't worry about it and don't use the ruler for accuracy. I've even added a digital read out to the Biesemeyer. I have come to the conclusion that the Biesemeyer fence is probably the best fence system out there. At best awkward and the Incra is only a 30 inch fence. I made an adapter to use the Incra positioner with the Biesemeyer on my UniSaw.
I used an Incra on my Jet contractor model. The repeatability of an Incra is something that woodworkers dream of. In terms of accuracy and repeatability I don't think that an Incra can be beat.
