Re: K 700 S Miter Slot dimensions Pls

Amazing Mr. Best. I should call you Dr. Best to recognize your expertise.
Yes, you anticipated my next effort which was to build a basic? Fritz/Fran jig.
Silly me I thought planing and using a jointer to mill down some bakelite for a good fit in the miter slots would be sufficient to fab miter guides for the bottom of my jig. I have seen this done in youtube?videos for sliding tables. Sounds like this may or may not be accurate enough, given the Felder miter slots in the sliding table are not true ??
I could 3d print a custom t-nut/bar out of a harder plastic.
PETG has some wear resistance, Nylon is very wear resistent, whereas Carbon Fiber may actually wear the slots somewhat in the aluminum table. Do you think this may worth a try...... I may anyway for the fun value....
Thank you my friend. Scott Glaser

Welcome to the group,
The Felder sliding tables, do not have a ¡°miter slot¡± in the traditional sense. The slots on the sliding table are in the form of an upside down T.? You will find the dimensions for this T-slot on the left side of the drawing at the following link, but keep in mind this is not a precision, reference slot. There are slight variations in the dimensions of the T-slot along the length of the sliding table, and from one machine to another.

If you want to adapt, a third-party miter guide to the sliding table, you will need to make a T-slot adapter that accepts a standard 3/8 by 3/4 inch miter guide bar and conforms it to the Felder T-slot.? Many users here have made such an adapter out of hardwood or HDPE plastic. The following link will show you an example of one such adaptation:
