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.
@@OneMinuteWorkbench I have it all printed and out in a binder just for that day. I bought a large bench from my job and use heavy duty shelf brackets on the side to attach my table saw to. Then I can also hang them on the wall out of the way.
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. #
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.
Well, last time I did it, it lasted for about 4 years before I thought to redo it so I could shoot this video. So, I'm not sure how long it would have lasted. So if you're mileage is anything like mine, it'll last long enough to make it worth the time/effort/cost-of-tape. I hope this helps!
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.... 👍👍
This guy is not a pro. You slightly peen the edge of the rail with a punch in front, back, and middle. It will mushroom the steel out and take up the slop. If too tight, lightly file the spots that bind and retry.
You're not a pro, either. A pro doesn't do what you suggested, because he's using high end equipment that doesn't require it. This video isn't for the pro. It's for the rest of us.

Thanks for you continued support! You know, it's never too late to build that workbench 😉

@@aaro_n nice!
As always thanks for the helpful tips for us. We appreciate them. Thanks
Fantastic tip, dude! Thanks a bunch! 😃
It's great to see you back!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Lame tip that wont last. N rigged.
It's great to see you again, Tommy. I have an adjustable miter gauge but this is great info for those who don't.
Bill
Thanks 👍

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

Very nice and useful tip
I just use a centerpunch to spread the aluminiun from few places.
Cool idea!
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
You are so welcome!
I've done this with foil tape...its a bit more durable and "slippery" than masking tape.
Thanks for sharing!
What a simple idea, many thanks.
Will be doing this 👌 thanks for sharing
🙂
super helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
quick and easy and it works!
How long does the tape last?

Great tip Tommy.
Take care.
Cheers, Huw
Thanks!
exactly what I did except with UHMW tape cuz it's highly durable & very slippery.
Great idea!
Perfect 👌
Thanks
This fixed my problem
For how long that solution lasts until the tape is worn of?
Aha! Excellent. Not just cheaper table saws either. Thank you
Packing tape smoother finish.

Thanks for sharing that info!
I used white electric tape works well and leaves no residue compared to black tape
Even if you don't need the precision the fact that it wobbles is a huge safety issue IMO.
0:45 No its not okay....not in the slightest. Cutting angles is literally precision work. Its all precision work. 😂
Good 👍👍👍🇺🇦👌
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Thank you!
Na, the tape wears out.
yeah, then the tap tears and you have to rip it off and reapply. Just buy a good gauge

Wow with over 250 thousand words in the English language you managed to pen six of them in a mean way.
Hm. Mixed feelings: Quite rude in wording, but a very VERY GOOD TIP! Thank you!
