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?

Never gave it a second thought. I always assumed everybody else in
the world just used the same miter guage as their tablesaw.

If your miter guage is the el-cheapo one that came with the tablesaw
(and you hate it) then make the RT slot compatible with your TS, and
upgrade your TS miter gauge (twofer)

Of course, if you are one of those rare individuals that can use both
tools at the same time, then my suggestion won't be that valuable :-)


Thanks!
