Because I'm installing an aluminum
miter track! The advantage here is the metal is not affected by humidity,
so the slot doesn't get tight or sloppy. Always the same, consistent, I
like that!
When I plowed out my groove, I went about 1/32" to deep,
No problem, just slap on a couple of layers of masking tape till the metal
sits flush in the groove. |

I have a few jigs that I use that require the miter slot
filled so the jig doesn't fall in. The metal slot is easily filled with
a piece of hardwood. I glued a small block to one end to keep it from moving
around. No block on the far side, it would interfere with the saw's fence. |

Ah, nice clean lines, and everything is perfectly flush!
Now for the fence! You can make one like mine from the
pages of Woodsmith, issue 103
or you can buy one and save yourself some time. |
