Hey Jim..

went with the Incra deluxe sliders. As good as they get IMHO...worth every penny..
You can see in the pics I drilled holes in the bed to access the mounting holds as well as the adjustment screws. This allows me to "tweak" the sled as needed. Even gives me a couples of thousands of angle adjustment. Even at that, all of those adjustments are only as good as the blade resting on the arbor..try finding a blade with very little runout!!!

where do you stand with your project?..

btw.. Merry Christmas to you, your bride and youngblood...

I agree, Bill.. Incra definitely makes top quality stuff... with their sliders the ability to dial in your slack should make for some wonderfully tight miters; perfect for making some custom-lam picture frames and anything else your heart desires. I've been meaning to contact them to see how long of ones you can get.

My project is on hold for right now... Work is way down so no significant outlays at this time.

Merry Christmas to you, your bride and family too!

Deb, Dr. Zook (what is a Zook anyways?) *S* and Duane.. thank you all for you kind words. I'm very much pleased you guys like it...The great thing about it is, it wasn't all that
much work...and maybe 100 bucks in materials...

Jim..

25"s is the longest they make the heavy duty model in. Like what I used on the sled. But if you were to take a piece of 3/4" x 3/8" x (you decide)barstock and have it machined (akin to what a fostner bit would do) to accomodate an offset cam. you'd pretty much have the same thing. Or even some good ole hardmaple?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm says I???

btw... I got plans in me head for skii's... you'll love this one!!!
