Hi Steve, I also have the Incra gauge, and it is accurate. I just prefer the sled if I'm trying to get an odd angle. For example, an odd number of sides on the polygon could require fractions of a degree. The Incra is nice because the sled takes up half an inch of blade height.
I bought a MiterSet gauge set several years ago, and since getting it, I no longer need to do the calculations. My 4 sided, 6 sided, 8 sided, etc. assemblies all fit together perfectly. It was well worth the investment. The only additional requirement is to use a stop on the miter gauge to assure that all of your work pieces are cut to the exact same length.Hi Steve, I also have the Incra gauge, and it is accurate.

I just realized I have that miter set gauge. Just forgot I had it. Here's a video on using it.
