will the Aluminum Miter Bar fit my bosch table saw ?
I have a problem to find screws to attach the bar to the wood. The countersink on the bar is not deep enough, the screw head doesn't sit all the way and therefore touches the bottom of the slot. what kind of screw should I look for ? Thanks
BEST ANSWER: It might be best if you attach the bar with fasteners from the top. I don't think the countersinks on the bar were meant for fasteners, they were relief for the edge of the tapped holes. Worked for me.

The threads on the miter bar are 1/4" 20 but Rockler doesn't sell a handle with the same thread profile, only 5/16" - 18. Any idea where I can find a tall handle with 1/4" - 20 male threads?
BEST ANSWER: I believe the threaded holes are meant to attach the bar to the underside of a wooden jig. If you want to attach a handle with different Dia/Pitch directly to the bar, I would suggest using a tap and die to cut a new one.

BEST ANSWER: This mitre bars are made for a slick fit for a standard 3/4" mitre track. You ned to consider other options. You could make your own out of quarter sawn hardwood as an example. In any event I prefer longer mitre bars as it can come in handy when you need to pull the fixture way back on the in feed side.

where did you purchase the 1/4-20 screws with outside diameter head small enough to sit in the recess????
BEST ANSWER: My approach when making my sled was to drill holes through the panel and attach it to the miter bar with 1/4-20 screws. You can choose to use pan head or flat head screws, you just have to make sure you countersink the holes in the panel. Hope this helps.

What are the actual dimensions of the bar? Not concerned about length, just height and width.
Will this fit most table saws? I'm using a black and decker firestorm.
BEST ANSWER: It fits my DeWalt table saw with a 3/4 slot in the table. The bar is mounted to a home made cross cut sled. One thing that I have to be careful of is when the sled extends too far beyond the table, the miter bar has decreased contact with the slot and allows the sled to wiggle side to side. The is a function of a short table on the table saw rather than an issue with the miter bar.

I bought the 24 inch length, miter bars. I know you use 1/4-20. Do you use coarse, or fine thread? Thank you for the help. Keith
BEST ANSWER: In the description of the threaded holes it as you say specifies 1/4 -20 fasteners. That designation is 1/4 diameter bolt shaft and 20 threads per inch. Twenty threads per inch is thought of as coarse thread.

Is looseness in the miter track accounted for by backing out the setscrews the appropriate amount and having the head of the setscrew ride along the inside of the track, or do the setscrews go completely through the bar to ride on the flat bottom of the screw?
BEST ANSWER: They do go completely through the bar, and that is how I adjust mine for a snug fit.

If my sled is 24" deep, should I opt for the longer bars, or stick to the 24" bar?
BEST ANSWER: It is a matter of choice and use. If you are making doors etc that are wide and they just fit your sled then you can't raise the blade w/o pulling the sled way back on the table. So longer bars helps. However that has limits given the depth of the inside feed area of the table. I ended up using the 24 in and lived with its limits.You could always make 2 sleds.

How many adjustment screws does the 18"bar have? What is the spacing?
BEST ANSWER: I'm not exactly sure about the 18" bar, but the 24" bar has 5 set screws for adjustment. The first position is 3/4" from the end and each subsequent position is 5 5/8" on center. I would think that the 18" bar would have 4 positions and maintain the same layout.

Can you provide miter bars with Spring-loaded bearings as you use in the Rockler Miter Sled?
Did this bar fit universal t track item 22104?
Thinking of buying a 36" bar & cutting in half instead of 2 18" bars to save some $$$. I'm assuming that there is a hole that divides the track in half and not an adjustment cam at the mid point of the slide. True? Is there any difference between a 36' bar cut in half and an 18" bar?
how much do these adjust? My mitre slots are .773 in my dewalt table saw and I purchased incra mitre sliders and they wouldnt adjust tight.

This is a nice miter bar. I don’t know how well it will wear, given that it is aluminum instead of steel. But with a lottle care, I expect it to last for years.
