This is why i made mine out of a 1"x3" (1030) aluminum extrusion. This allows a vast amount of functionality, and adaptation with the miter gauge. I even use the same junky gauge that you have. But i rebuilt some of the hardware on it so that I could ensure a snug lock on it and allowing me a better degree of accuracy. I also cut 5 inches off the front of it so it would maintain a more accurate snug fit. (The original length would be taught when it was fully in miter dlot, but once any part of it made it out of the slot, it would cause a bit of play in it, and hurt the precision I desired.
I’m not 100% sure about the geometry on your miter gauge but if you make a mitered cut won’t it damage the leading corner? also, wasn’t that one of the primary reasons for making this jig seeing as how you can’t make mitered cuts on your sled?

Brilliant, Rob! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I like man a very good idea and video thanks mate
