Hi -

Rockler's track is blue, Hartville's is red, Incra's is gold and Lee Valley's is silver. Does anyone know of a source for t and miter track that is black anodized?

Thanks.

Lewis

I can't answer the color question. But I will say that I found the Incra miter track more uniform than the Rockler I tried.

Hi Phil - what do you mean by uniform - better tolerances on the dimensions over it's length?

Yep. With the Rockler, adjusting my miter gauge was frustrating because in some spots it was snug, in others it was loose. I could have had a bad piece, but the Incra was perfect.

Right, well I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Thanks.

Well if you find some black t-miter, let me know. I wouldn't mind having some of that myself.:)

I think the Woodworkers Supply store has black tracks.

Had a dig around the website but didn't see anything. Searching continues....

Have you looked at local machine / tool & die companies? You'll probably be able to get it in any color of the rainbow. You can always powder coat stuff too.
