I'm not great at planning my projects out ahead of time, and when I'm futzing around getting ideas, I don't want to stop what I'm doing and run out to the hardware store for a part. So, when I do buy something I need, I usually get about twice as many "for next time". If I use up those, then I consider buying a bigger box. When I do plan my project ahead of time and make a shopping trip to get everything I need, more often than not I'll end up changing my mind or never getting around to doing it, so I collect a bunch of stuff that way. -

I tried a different clamp and a different block of wood, no luck. But, I think I figured out the problem: I think I cut the track too shallow, so the runner/base of the clamp can lift up slightly above the table. The block gets clamped tightly between the clamp's screw and base, but the clamp and block is free to move in the track. Tomorrow I'll try cutting deeper tracks and see what happens. I think I'll test it on a piece of scrap plywood before I start hacking on my miter saw station. Thanks for the help, Von. -
