They fit my laguna table saw perfectly, no slop. and will be great as this material doesn't change size with temperature and humidity like wood can.Just note that one package of this contains two bars.

These sticks worked great for the sliders on my table saw sled. They were a perfect fit out of the package and slid really really well in my miter slots. My only negative is that you have to be VERY careful when attaching them to the jig because they will mushroom/bulge if you over tighten the screws, even ever so slightly. I predrilled and countersunk my screws and still had bulging issues, despite my efforts. Fortunately, with a little paste wax, they are still operating fine, but I do have a sticking point because of it. I figure the more I use the sled, the bulge will wear down over time for a really good overall fit. Overall, I would recommend them, but just be aware of that. I do like that they won't change shape with seasonal weather changes and all that.

I ordered these expecting them to be precision misled to be the perfect fit for the slots in my DeWalt table saw. Unfortunately these bars are too narrow by 0.5mm-1mm and there’s enough slop to ruin the accuracy of the cross cut sled I was building. Very disappointed.

These will be used as miter slot runners, so the width is critical. Just out of the package, mine measure 0.747 - 0.748 wide, over their entire lengths.This is good, but it would be even better if they were the full 0.750 - it's easy to remove a thousandth or two with a block plane, but not so easy to add.

Have not used it yet but looks like they will work for what I purchased them for

1 The problem is in the track on the saw itself that is not accurate, I bought some UHDP tape and trying to adjust the thickness but not sure how long before it peels2 since the description states the material has molecular memory, that means the way it is attached to the jig determine how straight it will be, if you count on alignment of the bar itself and screw everything together , you won’t get a good result, it needs a metal guide when attaching to the jig

Perfect fit, height and zero slop/play in the miter slots of my Rigid 4513 table saw. They glide so slick yet I've never waxed the slots. These are going to be perfect for the 3x3 cross-cut sled I'm building.

Best yet. I've always used hardwood and made my own. With the humidity changes here at the beach always had to watch grain direction etc. Got tired of the occasional expanding just enough to "catch" once in a while.These fit perfect in my Grizzly Professional Cabinet Saw, no slop, perfect height.

I had high hope for this product, as I was impressed by the description of its slickness and seemingly perfect size to fit to the slots of my Dewalt table saw. I bought one set hoping to a cross-cut sled.It is super disappointing to discover the thickness of the bars are slightly thinner than the depth of the groves on the Dewalt table saw. As a result the cross-cut sled panel doesn't touch the bars. In addition, as identified by many other reviews, the bars came with obviously wavy surface. It has nothing to do with the title "precision milled".By itself UHMW Bars are not useful for my project and I have to throw them away. Maybe I will have to add some spacer to make it work but that would be unnecessarily, unplanned additional work only to save the bars.

This product is exactly what it says it is, and I really want to like it, but..... The simple idea behind this product is to locate these strips in the miter channel of your table saw, and then build a square (or angled) cutting platform on top of them. First, the strips are tight in my saw, and even though they are smooth and slick, they don’t slide easily in the channel (saws might vary of course). I tried to use both channels on my table, but with two attached it literally would not budge. I had to remove one of them. I also ruined one length while using a 1/2 drill bit tip to make a screw countersink. The bit grabbed the strip and instead of a little digit, I made an oblong 1/2 hole. Did it twice in fact. That was with a drill press - you need to clamp them down. For the small through hole, I ended up drilling all those twice. This material melts when drilled, so the hole fills back in a little. I found it best to drill the holes larger than normal, so there is some slight wobble in them. This helped in two ways. As other reviewers mention, if the screw or screw head is too tight, it makes a bulge in the channel. They are already so tight that even the slightest bulge puts the brakes on the movement. Also, if your holes are not EXACTLY aligned, and the channel has the slightest curve, again it will not move. If your holes are just a little larger than normal, and you don’t overtighten the screws, then it allows just a tiny movement of the channel side to side - TINY, but enough that the channel runs straight overall. You want to be able to push the shoulder of the screw through the hole with no effort. On a 24” deep sled with 24” strips, I used 4 countersunk screws. So, as simple as this application is, they are fairly tricky to get just right. Do NOT overtighten, it is hard to get that bulge removed. My final sled works fine, and is square. I am going to put a square of clear acrylic on the near edge, as a blade guard at the end of the cut. One mistake I made for sure, on the bottom side of the sled, be sure to run the strip with the grain of the wood. I didn’t, and I think that makes my sled a little ‘stickier’ than it should be because of the extra friction.

No issues. When you tighten the screws (I went bottom up into the sled), the material will bulge slightly and tighten in the miter slots. I'd countersunk the holes, but I'd screw to just snug and tighten only if you get lateral freeplay.
