No cupping or bowing. I tried blowing out the track with compressed air, no help. Using a stop block made with MatchFit hardware worked good enough. It would move slightly if I knocked it with a piece of wood, but would stay still if I was gentle. I often slide the workpiece down to the stop; I'll have to train myself to be more careful. -
Weird. I'm planning something like this as well so I'm interested in your experiences. Have you checked your wings for cupping or bowing? -

How long do you guys think the ceramic guides will last? -
I can't imagine being that far away from a store. Home Depot is 2.3-2.9 miles away depending on which way I go. Lately I'll still order parts from them shipped to my house if I can wait 2 days. I'm similar in that I want to fix everything. Trying to get better and farm some things out where I can. How old is your daughter now? Things change so quickly with kids. I used to be able to go down to the shop at night when they were going to bed at 8. Now that's 8:45 and that's hard for me to motivate myself to go down to the shop and get into something besides applying coats of finish. They're more likely to have friends over or go over to a friends house now and that's where I can get a couple of hours in on a weekend. -

I build a miter saw station with fold-out wings, and I put MatchFit dovetail slots in the wings for stops. But when I camp a piece of wood to the wing with a MatchFit clamp to act as a stop, I find that it slides in the track no matter how hard I tighten the clamp. There may be some sawdust in the track, but still I wouldn't expect it to slide when it's clamped down. I used a MatchFit router bit to make the slots. Also, when I use the MatchFit dovetail track nuts I find that they bind up into the dovetail, and in order to move them I need to knock them back down into the track. All in all, I'm getting kinda frustrated with the MatchFit system, and reconsidering my decision to go with MatchFit instead of T-track. Any advice, thoughts, comments?
