Customer Reviews
The track works great.
The only problem is where the two rails come together.
The slide works great up to there and then it drags a little.
After the slide passes that area it good again.
If I add a little oil in that area it's all good.
If that's the only problem I have, I'm good with it
How do you keep a large but lite weight board from moving. I came close to ruining $500 worth of Black Walnut
Wedge clamps, made from scrap lumber work the best.
Take a scrap 1x or plywood and cut it in half at a gentle angle, 3 to 8 inches long. Flip so the hypotenuses/angled faces touch one another.
Use another piece of scrap at one end to create a hard stop. Slide the project up against it. Place another “surface” board and attach to the support table surface (used a longer 1x4 scrap in this photo) and affix one side of a wedge you cut to the surface board.
Second half of the wedge gets tapped in lightly to apply pressure on the project.

My sled kit with the threaded rod insert has been amazing. I love how few moving parts there are, and how sturdy the rails are!
