I am looking to build a crosscut sled for my table saw and want to buy some
metal or plastic Miter Bars/Miter Sliders. Any good sources for these.
Also, could these be made from some aluminum stock. Looking to fit the
standard 3/4" X 3/8" slot. I know you can make these from wood but looking
for metal or plastic. Not interested in the expensive Incra ones.

Your local woodworking store? Lee Valley sells UHMW which fits.
www.metalsupermarkets.com might be in your area. ebay (search for
aluminium or aluminum, or UHMW)

I use MDF with an edge of scrap arborite for smooth running. It may be
a few thousandth's wider than .750, but a belt sander, plane, router, or
jointer will fix that.
