Rockler is advertising the Incra Precision Positioning System. Billed as the original. It is $99.
Anyone have experience with this system?
I get a nickel from Pat Warner every time I plug his site....;-)
Take a look here

damn that thing looks like something you would see on a metal turret lathe. Never seen a jig with a dial indicator on it!

--Niiice! Re: dial indicators: damn handy; I use several in my shop. Photo #s 2 and 3 on this page show how I use one on my somewhat lower-tech folding router table..
I have it Jerry. I use it occasionally for any number of things. It is very versatile and accurate but tedious to use for cutting dovetails. I don't think it makes a good substitute for a real dovetail jig. The problem is, you set it up, cut ONE pin; set it up, cut another pin, set it up, cut another pin . . . you get the idea. Then, you repeat the process for the sockets. A dedicated dovetail jig you set up once and cut EVERYTHING at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have my incra jig. It's not junk by any means. It's definately a step up (time wise) from hand cutting.
