I did the same but with that aluminum tape for ductwork. Super smooth. Worked wonders! Thanks for the content. Your channel has always been a relief from the channels with crazy budgets and tools. I like those channels too but identify more with yours.

Well I know what I'm doing later. I bought my table saw because of you, I bought your workbench plans. I never did build the workbench, but it inspired me to make a modular tool system in my garage.

As always thanks for the helpful tips for us. We appreciate them. Thanks

It's great to see you again, Tommy. I have an adjustable miter gauge but this is great info for those who don't.

To add to this great video, it is possible to add tape to the table saw track so you have tape to tape contact. Then a bit of wax as you show here. THANK YOU sir. You helped me greatly.

It's great to see you back!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

ive made my own runners from oak. oak is a good opne as it doesnt ding too much and i used tape and its a beast of as slide. i use gt83 oil for my sliding however just make sure u regualraly or contntly even, check for build up of oily dust.
saved me alot of money doing this, . today built myself a crosscut sled and a mitre 45 sled . was a fun series of lessons on accuracy.

good video, now some tips for making sure the blade is square to the table, and square to the miter slot? thanks...

Aha! Excellent. Not just cheaper table saws either. Thank you

[sapelesteve]

Nicely done Tommy! I can see that working for slots that have straight sides. However, many table saw slots have indentations or other types of slotting. Most miter gauges for those types of tables are adjustable in order to reduce side to side variation. Just an observation.... 👍👍

I've done this with foil tape...its a bit more durable and "slippery" than masking tape.

[Lazywatchsmith]

I just use a centerpunch to spread the aluminiun from few places.

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

[WoodenItBeNice]

Great tip Tommy.
Take care.
Cheers, Huw

[MichaelAndersonakaBear]

Will be doing this 👌 thanks for sharing

[EngineerMikeF]

exactly what I did except with UHMW tape cuz it's highly durable & very slippery.

[milosgrujic]

For how long that solution lasts until the tape is worn of?

[SVW]

0:45 No its not okay....not in the slightest. Cutting angles is literally precision work. Its all precision work. 😂

[altokers]

Even if you don't need the precision the fact that it wobbles is a huge safety issue IMO.

I used white electric tape works well and leaves no residue compared to black tape
