If you could pick either one of these miter gauges which one do you think is better? There is only about a $10 difference in price on Amazon so that is not a consideration, I just want to get the best gauge and I don't know which one to get
Thanks

I have two INCRA miter gauges but not an Osborne, so I guess I'm no help.

I have the Incra V27 and the Osborne. In my case, neither make a perfect cut at the angle indicated, but the Osborne is closer. At this point, I would not give up either one; both are great and probably get about the same amount of use.
Good luck.

I saw that the Incra is made in the USA and Osborne is made overseas.
That is somewhat a negative.

I think switching the Osborne from the right to the left slot is more work, but you can't loose with either.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Incra. Presets allow dialing in any angle to the nearest 1/10th of a degree. Presets on the Osborne are only every 5 degrees. Fence on the Incra is more versatile, allowing stops and other things to attach to the fence.

A gentleman here gave me the Osborne and I am very happy with it.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I like my Osbourne. You can fine tune it to cut perfectly; pretty easy to do. I check it just from time to time.

Have / had both.
My vote is Incra.
If for no other reason, the 1000 sweeps 180*.
For the same kinda money.
