What to use as a non-skid material on a circular saw guide? Suggestions?
 

I found the following post on a forum in the UK at
http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/c...de-t16979.html

I'm looking for suggestions for a material that can be used for the
non-skid effect. As pointed out in other posts in this thread, the
Carroll site is not working.
====================
After recently using a Festo saw and guide at work I must admit I was
quite taken with the way the guide had rubber strips stuck to the
underside so it could be used without clamps, really neat idea.
Messing about in my workshop later with some homemade guides made of
mdf with a batten routed down the center i was wondering what i could
use for the same effect and rummaging around i came across some self
adhesive foam tape that is sold by Carroll tools for their range of
drum sanders. it is 75mm wide so I split it into 3 strips and fixed it
to the underside of the guides. Crikey it really grips, immovable in
fact yet you can just pick it up and move it. It costs £1.50 a metre
and obviously you can make your guides to suit whatever without any
massive outlay.
====================
I found this stuff on the net, but there's no telling how tough it is.

Good stuff
I use that stuff to protect the bumper of the car if I happen to be putting
something in the boot
same colour as the car and looking flat to someone behind me, it can't be
noticed
costs about 50 cents.

Thanks for the idea. Where is it sold?

The material used on the Festool guide rails is replacable. Buy the
replacements from Festool.

I believe you meant to say $0.64 per foot.

Also ... I had/have a roll or two of this stuff ...

Left over from when I had an RV.

It does a GREAT job for what you describe. I also use it for sanding
and hand-held router use.

Because it's so porous, it's just a simple "shake clean," to get the
sawdust out.

Cheap, too !

No, I was just making a guess as to how Fecestool would price this
item.

Your original link didn't go to the exact product page but after a
little digging around ended up at this page:

http://www.festoolusa.com/products/g...ip-485724.html

and that part, with a length of 32.8ft and a cost of $21.00 comes out
to, well, you know...

I'm fairly certain he was just making a joke pertaining to how expensive
Festool stuff is.

That Zippy foam stuff is usually available in the kids' crafts aisle at
your neighborhood Target, Walmart*, or similar retailer.

The shelf liner stuff is in housewears, with the cleaning products/tools.

Or if you want you can call it Router Mat, and pay
Woodcraft's/Rockler's prices. Sears sells it as liners for their
toolboxes (or is the plural "toolboxen"?).

Happy shopping!

That would work, but you risk leaving behind black marks on the wood.
(I'm sure it depends on the friction tape.) Plus it would probably lose
some of its effectiveness after getting some sawdust on it.

Haven't had either problem. Retains its friction for several
months. When it goes, just peel off and replace, a two
minute job. Very cheap.

Shelf liner comes in colors :-)

Box is black.

Router Mat is buff tan.

I like colors.

If you're talking about the face of the miter gauge, I've always
used a ~100-120 grit wet/dry sandpaper rubber cemented to on and
pared to shape. I would think that 1/8" foam might tend to
compress unevenly under load and through it off the square.
