Incra (and others) make adjustable miter bars to solve this problem.

I have an Incra miter. This miter uses nylon 'washers' that expand
outwards with a screw. In theory it works fine, but on my table saw they
are expanded to the limit and tend to wear quickly. The original Delta
miter bar has a perfect fit, but the bar is too short to transfer it
over to my Incra. I can't really see how the bar sold by Rockler
adjusts, I assume it also expands where the slots are. A better solution
but with only two points of adjustment there would be issues when the
bar has only one of the points in the slot, such as when mitering a wide
board.

I solved the problem by drilling a bunch of threaded holes through the
side of the Incra miter bar and installing set screws with the spring
loaded ball bearing tips (problem solved). Being that the OEM Delta bar
has a great fit, the sizes seem to be standard within a manufacture (my
old Craftsman saw had slots narrower than 3/4"). It would be nice to
just be able to buy a miter with a manufacture-specific bar.
