I love all my Incra rules, and the 3 inch t-rule might be my most used marking tool in the shop. Great video.
Hey Marty! Yeah, I keep the small one in my apron, and it gets used most of the time for marking stuff out.
I visited the US about 15 years ago before you could buy Incra products in the UK. I visited a Rockler store in Torrance, Orange County very near to our company facility in Anaheim CA.
I bought a 12' Rule the 6" T Rule and the 6" Protractor the Incra Jig fence positioner and Mitre 1000SE Mitre fence for my router table. All just fantastic tools!
The US was at least 10 years ahead of the UK in terms of marking tool technology! I still love using my Imperial Incra tools!
A very thorough and "precise" review of these fine measuring tools.
I bought the 12" T-Rule about 6 years ago and haven't even opened it yet. I will be definitely be using after watching this video Guy. Thanks for your review.
Just found your channel last night. Enjoy your videos I’ve seen so far. The 6”t rule looks like something I could definitely use. Thanks.
just bought mines, 3", incredibly well made. I feel like I need them all lol
I have been looking at these for years, and finally ordered the 6" T square after your demo, Guy. Next on the list is the corner bend rule.
Hey Steve! You'll be glad you made the investment.
That circle cutting tip just blew my mind, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I hadn't figure it out until your video.
HaHa. Mind blown!
This is a really great review of these products. So useful I'm going to get some. Thank you
I love my Incra measuring tools and router fences, i have a few Incra products, the miter gauges are the best.
Couldn't agree more
Great presentation Guy. These are amazing products!
Thanks Sean!
Those are pretty neat, I like the circle drawing trick you showed!
They are awesome tools.
Great information as you describe the rules I was getting ideas for what I could benefit from with these rules. Thank You Guy.
Hey Thom! Thanks buddy!
The rulers are amazing, want one so I can use for calligraphy, Japanese kanji, renderings, and any perspective drawings!
Picked up a few uses and methods I hadn't really thought about 👍🏽
Cool!
New Sub....Wow really great videos. I'm a musician also, so... great audio quality.
I really love the Incra measuring tools, night and day difference.
What really blew me away was the Incra table saw Fence Video.... amazing technology.
thanks and welcome to the channel Yuri!
I took the plunge and purchased all of these rules with the exception of the protractor. I can honestly say without fear of contradiction that these Incra rules are the most accurate and easy efficient to use bar none and I mean none. If anyone is frustrated with parallax errors, awkward to use and have guaranteed repeatability then these are the only rules you need as nothing else comes close. One of my favourite Incra rules [actually scrap that last comment] is the centre finder rule. There are a few others on the meerkat but none come close to these on any level. For the record I’m not being sponsored by Incra and I purchased all of my Incra products with my own hard earned wonga.
At the beginning of this video it’s mentioned that the Incra rule can be used as a compass !! That maybe the case but I couldn’t recommend putting anything sharp other than a .5 millimetre pencil through any of the precision holes for fear of damaging it. Theses rules are made of satin stainless steel but are exceptionally thin so care needs to be taken with them and in so doing will last you a lifetime.
Good stuff, I'm usually going with Incra or Woodpeckers these days.
Outstanding... I own some but don't use often... now I know how.... thanks
Great video. Thank you. Ordering today.
What I also love about the Incra measure/marking rules is that I can use them for my visual art sketches/drawings/paintings. THAT’S why I’m so stuck on measurement accuracy. Also, my high school Drafting teacher was very specific about us having our measurements correct: I kept drawing the drill punch point off by 3 degrees, which (had the drawing been a ‘real world’ draft) would have made a very poor, inaccurate machined punch; and as manufacturing is super expensive and labor-intensive, it would cost my imaginary company a loss. My point is that there are other applications for which these wonderful tools can be used. So...off my soapbox now, lol.
I'm sure there are tons of different uses for different types of crafts. Great tools!
I feel like these are life hacks lol😅
Amazing tools! I’ll be buying these immediately!
WAY more affordable than the woodpecker brand!
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Outstanding video Guy. Just made me order the protractor
Hey Wayne! Like all of Incras tool, you'll love working with them.
Very nice Guy! Looks like I have another purchase to make.
HaHa. There is always another purchase to make!
2nd video .... Just subscribed ... Great tool info!
I have the 6 and 12 inch t-rules, but have not used them to their full potential. I plan on taking advantage of them a lot more this year. Thanks for your informational video, Guy.
Hey Chris! I love these Incra tools, and can't imagine working without them.
Very good review. Thank you!
Thanks!
i really enjoy your videos, guy. thanks for the time and effort you put into them. i have no doubt it is a significant investment of both. i ordered the products you covered in this video. they'll make a great addition to my shop. thanks again
Thanks for watching, and you'll love the tools!
I walked by these the other week in the store, and was completely overwhelmed by how much was on these tools. Now after watching this video, I am overwhelmed by how much trouble I have gone through in the past, to accomplish what these can do in seconds.
Hey Adam. The most used one of these tools in my shop is the 3" Tiny T Rule. I keep it in my shop apron and reach for it quite often.
It's easy to see why you think so highly of Incra. In all fairness they do make an excellent range of products and it's actually really good to have someone go over that excellence in some detail. It's good to know when you're missing something excellent, y'know? Good to have someone point it out for you.
Thanks for watching!
I had the 6" t-rule in my Cart, then made the mistake of watching this video. Now I have several other items in the Cart. Very good video.
HaHa. Thanks Terry!
I love the one INCRA Tiny T-Rule, I have. I have seen a vast improvement in my marking. If you're like me and a little heavy on the 0.5mm lead, check out the Zebra DelGuard. It is the first 0.5mm lead pencil I've not gone through by breaking the tip all the time. Thanks Guy for showing me the many other awesome measuring tools INCRA offers! I believe my next major shop upgrade will be one of their Rule Master sets.
I agree. I love the tiny t rule, and I have it in my apron. Just checked out those pencils, and bought 2. Thanks for the tip!
Those are pretty slick!
Thanks!
Good stuff Guy. I need to get some of those
Thanks Mike! Did you enter the giveaway on Instagram that I posted?
as always good stuff Guy! I have the incorrect e rule 8 inch one and love it I don't ever use the little dots unless I use my scratch awl, but most of the time I use the slots if I'm using a pencil. could really use that as a rule I like how that works have a good one bro
Cool! I tend to use the slots more also.
New subscriber here. Love the videos. Have been woodworking for 40+ years. CZcams has been transformative. Being more accurate with measuring so critical to a happy day in the workshop. First saw these tools in Woodsmith and was intrigued. I’m sold after watching this. Biggest question for me is what size to get.
The 6" T Rule is the one I use the most out of any of these tools.
very cool Guy, going to check them out.
Thanks Jake!
Really cool Guy!
Thanks Fred!
great stuff , do they do a metric one too
you have the protractor backwards on the fence of the protractor. It is meant to sit on that level top ridge.
good stuff thanks
Thanks!
thanks
Great video guy! Hey not that it really makes much of a difference... but I think the T-Track on your Incra Protractor is on backwards? There's that slight ridge along the edge of the T-Track that the ruler/protractor butts up against as a built in precision reference edge when you turn the thumb screws to secure it to the t-track/ fence... looks like your protractor may be ontop of that slight ridge in the t-track, instead of sitting flush & backed up against it.
My Incra T has made me question where I am meant to cut in relation to the marked line. If 0 is the reference edge... and I mark at 5mm, do I cut before, on or behind the line?
Also I still use a sliding square rule to line up my track etc... and this is what made me begin ? where I'm measuring or cutting. When I set my sliding rule should the mark be visible or inside the edge? We use the end (zero) to mark... so I think the set distance should be inside the edge?
Some may say a consistent approach is all that matters, yet I use CNC cut parts at times and I am wanting a second opinion on the above :)
Just ordered one of the 6 inch
Awesome! You'll love it!
Do any of you know where I can get any of the rulers cheap?
This is the first time I've seen these tools. They are awesome! Thanks for posting this video!
Thanks for watching Carl! They are very good tools, and I have been using them for years. The ones I use most are the 3" and 6" T Rules
It's good to know which ones you use the most. I'll have to make sure they are in a set I buy. Thanks Guy and Have a Great Day!
Face side and Face Edge!
I was taught by my joinery instructor always mark from Face Side and Face Edge,never to mark a mortice as demonstrated from opposing faces!
That would be the most repeatable way to center the mortise, but if your measurements are precise enough, you can get away with other methods.
I have the 6" but want the 3" jawn. Circle and edge jawns are on my to buy too.
The 3" is my go to most of the time.
I have the Incra T-Rule "Pro" (imperial/metric) which I neglect to use often, I just wish the blade was thicker/stiffer. It feels too delicate for the price! I think I would have been getting *just* the metric version as it makes it overall less bulky. Shame the Tiny-T doesn't have a metric version either.
I have had these for years, and have never had any issues at all with the thickness of the steel on them. Just like any of my quality tools, I tend to baby them however. And yes, it's a shame the tiny t isn't available in metric, as it's the one I use the most. Get one and come over to the dark side Paul! HaHa
Oh I believe you that they're probably indestructible (or at least highly durable), but it doesn't help me feel overly cautious around them! Until they get a micro-furlong version, I'm not switching.
The only issue i have with these is the need for a #5 mechanical pencil, the lead breaks to easily. This tool works good for maple or poplar but get a dark walnut or most other dark wood and you have to press to hard on the pencil to make the line visible and the lead breaks.
I commend your showing of this Tooling Company. As a former Floor Mechanic, All my tool boxes had At Least the 3 inch long "Mini Tee". I have both the Metric Scale as well as Imperial.
Are you aware that the company also makes the "Wood Pecker" series of tools? Billet CNC Hard Anodized and they are considered "Collectable Items" for those who buy for "Non-Use". However I USE my 3-inch WoodPecker Tee Square, and it stays in my Apron pocket unless being used!!!
My ONLY complaint is they chose the .5mm pencil: I had already "Settled" upon .9mm Pentel Pencils as my "Pencil of choice. :-) (My Try Squares all have a One mm hole in the groove @ exactly One inch Pre Incra Tools, As a Floor Installer that One hole in my Tri-Square made the difference between "Close" and ~On the Spot~!
Спасибо за поучительное видео.👍
Спасибо за просмотр
@@GuysShop пользуюсь одной линейкой 300мм. Решил купить и угловую,тоже 300мм.
@@GuysShop Вы говорите по русски?))
their whole system is incredibly accurate. I've put it up against some pretty nice digital stuff.
They are fantastic tools.
God damn, incra stools are so badass.
LOL accidentally said stool but I'm not changing s***
Trying to decide between the 12in T vs plain ruler.
As the edge I am referencing off may not be perfectly straight along the whole length I use a 1m Aluminum straight edge instead. The obvious choice is the bare ruler + straight edge, but the T ruler would save time. Jnot sure it will be accurate enough for my specific use case. Don't want to buy two rulers.
If you can only get one, get the T
I have a couple of the INCRA measuring tools but I find that I don't use them because of the fragile pencil lead.
I use a Zebra mechanical pencil now, and it works great!
go to an art or drafting supply store and buy: draftsmans Prismacolor(trademark) "Turquoise" push button led holder pen. then buy a led box with "TURQUOISE" #4H leds(12 leds to a box). These leds hold sharpness and are perfect with the 18" Inca rule i use to draft waterlines for forms directly to interior plywood i use in my canoe making business(53 years using these tools). Also at welding supply stores look for "Silver Streak" leds great for metals and marking darker hardwoods where plain graphite leds don't show up well (colored leds as well as Silver Streak are softer and not good for Inca rules.
I don't have anything even close to these and really want to get them. Where do you get such a pencil as you were using. A carpenter's pencil won't cut it in this application.
It's just a standard .5 mm lead pencil
Great product! I'd love to have one. The "measure twice" gremlin bit you. At 8:40 into the video, you want to make a mark 2 1/2" in and 1" down from the end but you make the mark at 2 1/4" instead. As awesome as it is there's still room for improvement.
He probably just rushed it a little and put his pencil in the wrong slot. How is this the fault of the tool?
Director Skinner, i had no idea you liked woodworking.
I have no idea what you're referring to.
GuysWoodshop you reminded me of the guy from the x files....
Too scared to ask how much these cost..
They are actually pretty reasonable
Your protractor is mounted incorrectly
The biggest downside to these rules is you can only use 3mm or 5mm pencils. Both of those are useless in a shop because the lead always breaks!
I juse a 5mm pencil from Zebra that works really well. Ithas a spring behind the lead that help prevent it from breaking too easily. Works great!
unfortunately the T rule is useless if left handed
Bloody hell. Now I have to buy this. I've got to stop watching product review episodes.
HaHa
