The 3/4 X 3/8 bar stock is a little difficult to find, but a home

And you can buy a 3 foot piece for a lot less money than a commercial
miter bar.

I wonder, though, about the tolerances. The Incra miter bars are machined
straight to pretty tight tolerance. How close to straight is the bar stock at
Home Cheapo?

I've bought a few lengths of cold-rolled 3/4 X 1/4 over the years and
I've never had one that wouldn't fit in the table saw slot. That's
straight enough for me.
