Hello All:
I was reading the ongoing thread on cross cut sleds and was going to pile on there but decided to create a new thread.
I have a Jet contractor saw with a problem. The miter slot is not a consistent width - it narrows at the back.
I cannot make the runners wide enough for the front of the slot as it binds at the back. The binding occurs beyond the blade so I'm thinking that it could widen it without causing dramatic issues.
I'm thinking that a machine shop would charge more than the saw is really worth to do a precision job.
Any thoughts from the family?
Cheers
Jim
