Hello All: I'm new to the list. And, have been reading the mail in the background for a few weeks. I am a avid sailer and wood worker. I am totally blind as well.
As far as the table saw runners go, I would highly recommend the steal runners from www.woodpeck.com. The have almost no slop in a 3/4 slot. However, they will not work on the cheaper ridgid or craftsman saws because the slots are not quite 3/4. These runners are tapped with several 1/4x20 holes. They will last a life time. I've built cutoff sleds, tennoning jigs, box joint jigss, ... They also work very well on router tables, bandsaws, sanders. They do not have the means to grip a T slot. Any jig can be lifted out of the slot. Terry On Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:37:09 -0500you write: >Hi, > >I get mine from Lee Valley. Don't know if you would pay duty but the dollar >is now in your favour.
