It took me a little longer to set up than most. I mounted it on a 20 year old duracraft 10" by making some custom brackets. To mount this fence your table should be 27.25" +- .75" deep and the mounting holes for the rails should be 16" apart, 8" on each side of the blade and 1-3/16" from the top of the table. If your saw falls within these dims you should have it up and running within 20 minutes. It took me about 5 hours to mill aluminum table extensions for mine and get it mounted.
About the only thing I would change with the fence is that the indicator window rides about .5" above the tape on the rail -- this allows for too much error depending on your line of sight. I have mine set up so I can cut within +-.007" by only using the scale on the rail (that's right, +-1/128") but if someone else used it they might not know which eye to close and where to hold their head. :-) Of course, with the micro adjust you could probably cut within .001" with a couple setup cuts.
All in all I was amazed at the accuracy, ease of use, and simplicity of this fence. After I ordered it I wondered if I should have ordered the incra TS III because it has multiple rails and should hold square better. Once I got it and set it up, I think this fence is just right for my saw and it holds square perfectly. Maybe I'll try out the incra design on my router table.
