What's the best cure for the slop in the miter slot?
Jen S on May 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I had the same question with my first miter sled, thought it was defective and asked Rockler to send me a replacement! Then, DUH!, I realized that there are two nylon threaded screws on the miter designed to remove the slop. Adjust in small incriments with an Allen wrench, being careful to move each screw the same amount until slop is gone. Good luck!
will this fit my skil model 3310 table saw?
richard b on Jul 20, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Probably not since the miter slot on the Skil table saw is not the normal 3/4"" x 3/8". I bought some Skil miter slot bars for my Skil table saw and I used them to make the jigs I needed.
Can I use it with a router table miter track?

OK where speed is important but accuracy is not.
The "square" corner is 0.3 degrees off and neither edge is 45 degrees to the fence. For large frames the error is too great. The nylon screws are worthless. They fit too loosely and won't hold where you out them. It's not worth the effort sending it back so I am going to try to make some modifications. It might at least be OK for small frames.

The concept is great but to use it the slot in your saw table must be at least 3-7/8" from the inside of the slot to the blade. My table saw is less than that. I can use it with the point of the sled away from the blade but then there is a lot of room between the blade and the sled.

Miter Sled Concern
The sled works very well when cutting miters, way easier than adjusting a miter gauge for every cut. However, it took quite a bit of fiddling and adjusting to get the incredibly tiny nylon set screws to fit my miter slot on the table saw. This is the weakest part of the tool.....and the most important. If you have a sloppy fit you will have sloppy miters. Larger nylon set screws would be a big plus.

Used the miter sled to make 45 degree cuts on cabinet framing with my table saw. The sled made the cuts come out more precise than before. Too, it's less trouble than setting up your 45 cuts on the table saw or with a miter saw. Good tool.

Wow, this thing works! Given how many times I've had do-overs with 45's, I'm pretty darn pleased with this. So far, the several 45's I've cut came out just great. I will say this, the adjustment for the miter slot is difficult at best to adjust. But with patience all things adjust.

Like some of the others, I used to avoid miters at all costs. Not so anymore. Gives me perfect 90 degree angles everytime. Worked great with my T-track with no adjustments, even on thin stock.
February 5, 2008
Bought this as a time saver hoping to avoid the hassle of having to flip the miter gauge for each end. Results were mixed with most cuts not fitting together cleanly. Tuned the table saw (blade perpendicular. miter slot parallel etc.) but still couldn't make it work. Then I found the answer - clamp it. Obviously the work piece was slipping or tilting. The sled has a tendency to tilt and with a clamp, both hands could be used to keep it firmly in the slot. Haven't tried the sandpaper trick yet to prevent slippage but I will. Overall, now I've ironed out the technique I use it all the time. Suggested improvements: Better instructions, better slot adjustment (brass screws - I ended up gluing the nylon screws) and maybe offering an integrated clamp.

Very nice, simple solution to accurate miters. But I agree that the nylon set screw adjustment idea needs to be improved. They quickly vibrate out of adjustment and with use, I expect they would wear down. Instead of the screws, I used a thin strip of Slick Strip UHMW tape on one side of the miter slot bar. Not only did it take up the slop, it also makes the sled slide better in the miter track. I also put a few pieces of Slick Strip on the bottom surface of the sled which prevents the sled from rocking back and forth and really makes the sled glide across my cast iron Delta saw table. Note to Rockler: you really need to carry Slick Strip!! The stuff will make anything slide better. One note of warning, though. Make sure your saw's blade and miter slot are perfectly aligned or your miter cuts will be off. Not even the most expensive miter gauge or sled will give an accurate miter cut on a saw that is out of alignment.

Great for miter cuts for picture frame molding. I made a "jigsaw puzzle tray" from 1/4" plywood with a suitable molding around it to form an edge. The miter joints came out perfect.
