I was just talking to a friend who was a woodworker. He told me about a technique that he uses for making quick jigs.His runners are at least 1/8" narrower and a little thinner than 3/8". He puts something in the track to hold the runner proud of the table surface and pieces of folded paper in the inside of each runner. this keeps the runners tight against the outside edges of the tracks. He then aligns his rip fence to the right of the right track where he wants the jig to end. Using a quick drying glue he puts some on each runner then takes his plywood against the fence and drops it on the runners. Places a weight over the tracks and comes back after a cup of coffee to finish the jig. By making it less than the 3/4 inch and so that it does not slide along the bottom there virtually is no binding. I just might have to give that one a try. He said that it is so quick because there is no measuring or screwing runners. The last one that I made I used a little double sided tape on the metal runners. Then carefully placing the plywood on top. by lifting and flipping the jig I was easily able to screw the runners to the plywood. His technique appears to be so much simpler. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny
