Hello All,

I am planning on building a couple of different sleds / panel jigs for my TS. I thought about using t-track style rails that would fit into the miter slots in the TS. But I am having trouble finding rails online. Does anyone know of any places to get rails? Or would it be better to just get some 3/8 x 3/4 aluminum stock? I was thinking that the t-track would help with stability. I've checked at rockler, mlcs and a couple of others but not finding it.

TIA

Right after posting I remembered woodpeckers. They have some there. Surely there are more though.

Thanks

Here is one at Rockler (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=1464&filter=miter%20bar) and Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Kreg-KMS7303-30-Inch-Jig-Fixture/dp/B0002QZ4SA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-2383272-8610361?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1177534484&sr=1-1)

Thanks John.

You gave me the clue I needed. I was searching around for miter rails. Should have been searching for miter bars instead.

Here is another interesting one if you are looking for t-track stuff.

Doesn't have the builtin adjustable screws though. But I guess it could be shimmed with some sort of tape.
