Key Features of the O'SKOOL Miter Slot Runner Slider Bars

1. Check the Miter Slot Dimensions

The stated runner size is 3/4 × 3/8 inches. Check the width, depth and profile of your miter slot and confirm smooth travel before use.

2. Adjustable Expansion Discs

Use the included 2.5mm hex key to adjust the expansion discs. Check for side play and binding through the full working length.

3. Built for Durability

Crafted from hardened anodized aluminum, the slider bars resist warping, swelling, and shrinking. Unlike wooden runners that are susceptible to environmental changes, these aluminum bars maintain their shape and functionality, providing consistent performance over time.

4. Versatile Jig Design Options

The machined holes on the underside of the bars are countersunk for easy attachment of screws, bolts, and other hardware. This design enables you to mount custom jigs, clamps, stops, and knobs effortlessly. Whether you’re building crosscut sleds, featherboards, tenon jigs, or box joint jigs, these miter bars provide the foundation for a variety of woodworking fixtures.

5. T-Track Compatibility

Check the slot width, depth and profile against the runner and end-disc dimensions. Compatibility with a miter slot does not establish compatibility with a general-purpose T-track.
