I'll be building a router table - mostly a hybrid of several designs
I've looked at. Some people advise against putting in a miter track,
suggesting that one use a router sled instead.

I figure I can do both. Apparently, one can spend a LOT on a miter
gauge. It seems to make sense not to chince out in this area, but
spending over a hundred bucks just for the miter gauge seems a bit too
much for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations regarding miter
gauges for a home-built router table?

Thanks!

Jack
