The manual for this router table says it uses a regular 3/4"x3/8" slider but it is wide and the 3/4" miter of my Ridgid TS3650 sits lose in this router table's slot

More about the issue here
There someone is recommending this slider but there is now I am going to pay 120CAD/100USD for that

I am wondering if anybody owns this router table and they have any recommendations for a reasonably priced miter/slider bar

I am considering buying a UHMW larger piece which I can cut to size
I would prefer an aluminum alloy adjustable sliding bar, with this thread I was hopping to find someone who actually did it and who can tell me what type of bar I should buy. From what I am reading (see the link in the initial post) the channel/slot for this table is a little bit more than the standard 3/4" and I am not sure if the adjustable bar can compensate for that much

I looked at that -it is meant to be stationary not to slide along the track-
If lose then the precision is gone, there is going to be play in the knobs and at the track level

I can give this one a try for 17CAD
Not sure if it makes sense to buy the longer 35CAD one -a sled for the router table is usually short
The miter track for this table does not have the T slots - it is flat on the sides and at the bottom

OH that was a piece of s..t component I am returning it
You can see how much play there is between the Allen key and the screw head
Using a larger Allen key (next one up) did not work, it did not fit in

It was way too narrow anyway, I could see that there was no way to squeeze that piece of plastic to expand 1milimeter there.
I think UHMW or simply wood runners is the way to go
The Bosh engineers must have had a brain fart when they designed this table
