Great sliding table. Thanks for sharing your design. It looks like there is a long, narrow piece of high density plastic(?) fixed in place just below the aluminum plate. What is the purpose of this component? I'm guessing this helps keep the sliding table level when it is extended and under load?
Very interesting sliding table. A lot of thought has gone into this beneficial project. I have a few questions. Who is the manufacturer of the extruded aluminum and where do you purchase it from? What wood did you use in the construction? Do you have any drawings of this project that us viewers could access? Thanks
The extrusions are from 8020 but you can get it from a lot of sources. Check ebay for sure, they have a lot of drops. The wood is baltic birch plywood. Sorry I don't have drawings. I was just "winging it" and this project just came together. Thanks for watching. Any other questions just let me know. I am more than happy to help out.
It would seem like the micro adjuster would work better further from the pivot, like on the right side of the slider. I am surprised it doesn't flex too much to stay at 90. I know my excalibur slider will go out of adjustment with a decent bump or kickback, and its two locks are over 2 feet apart. It looks great tho, look forward to seeing it in use! I will steal your micro adjuster design for mine i think, after you've tested a bit.
You are confusing the lock with the pivot. The pivot is about 16 inches to the right of the lock. I have used this table for well over 6 or 7 years with no issues. Thanks for watching and if you have any questions about the adjuster let me know. It works great.
It's a cross between darts and cornhole. You toss 3 bags from distance of a little over 11 feet into 3 different size holes. I have a video series on how to make the game if you are interested. Great game for everyone and very safe. Thanks for watching.
what an incredible build! thanks for sharing!
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
Great sliding table...awesome job. I totally agree a slider is a game changer. Love the upside down glue bottle holder...
Thanks Mark. It's amazing what a little product placement will do for a video. Thanks for watching as well.
This sliding table is the coolest thing in your shop! Thank you for showing us how you did it.
@@bowerscustomwoodworkingllc Thanks Matt.
Great video and exceptional slider. One thing, though, you can't have too many tools..
You're right. Thanks for watching.
nice

That is a very good guess! Thanks for watching.

Is the pivot point attached to the guide rail closet to the saw?
@@davidswan4801 It is a 1/4 inch hole that is drilled into the aluminum plate. I think I feel another video coming soon.
@@JeffFischer1 Thanks for the quick response. Another video with additional details would certainly be welcome by me and I suspect others as well :-).
Nice build! Are plans available?
Thanks and sadly I don't have any plans. I will gladly answer any questions that you might have.
I'd like to learn more about this game you mentioned. How do people play THE A-HOLE GAME?
