A truly versatile device.

This was exactly what I needed. It would be nice if they made longer ones, but it was easy enough to make your own using parts from this set.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • New competitors appeared

Too expensive for what you get

The hidden cost of the Match-Fit system is best illustrated in this product. I don't regret the decision to build a run-out table or table saw carriage, but these parts, WITHOUT AN ALTERNATIVE source of supply, are not required and are grossly overpriced. I gave 5 stars for quality but 3 stars overall because I feel cheated.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Nothing

not strong enough, suitable for power tool spares and accessories

Well, in a previous post I said the sled set is worth trying, so I made one. Good idea, but you should try something else. No matter how you tighten the dovetail posts that attach the fence to the carriage, the fence will slide around and destroy your cut. If you overtighten, the pin will pull out of the plastic, which it did. I tried roughing up the bottom of the fence but it still moved. On the plus side, the dovetail design works great as a stop on the front of the fence.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Easy to maintain
