Hi,
I expecting a trend straight edge (100")
https://www.trend-uk.com/vjs-g-100-varijig-system-straight-guide-2-54-metre
to arrive tomorrow (Friday 8th Oct) , and their Saw guide & Router Guide are £30 each , and it looks like something I could very easily quite a few youtube videos for Slid on Tracksaw guide rails (Peter Millard)
Anyway
I have some old threshold hardwood scrap and planned to use that using my son-in-laws table saw to cut to size
so a piece of timber will drop into the T slot on the Straightedge and run the length.
Would you use some sort of lubricant , soap ? or will the hardwood just run in the T-Slot OK
I had hoped T-slots were some sort of industrial standard size but seems everyone makes there own size!!! and hence can charge silly money for any acessories to use the T-Slot
I have the Tech Drawing from trend - and their solt is 7mm deep , 8.2mm wide and then the T is 2.2mm high, need to work out its width - but i guess around 10mm
