Hi, I've found plenty of info on this, but one thing I haven't seen is
anything about how much friction there is sliding the router sled across
the rails. All the jigs I've seen are wood on wood.

Anyone who's used one of these, is the force it takes to push or pull the
router sled across the rails not really a problem?


I'm _almost_ out of the extra pieces of Formica flooring I use for things
that need to slide, but that's one place I've used it. Makes good fences,
sleds, even made a couple of cutoff jigs for the TS based on it. Time to
re-floor the dining room.

If you don't have something like that, get some of the thick (mil) package
tape they sell at Wally world and use it for slick. Doubt you'll need to
replace it for a small job like a bench top.
