Planning ahead for when I finally get my workshop and tools ... one day, one day ...
What is the preferred material for a crosscut sled runners?
I've seen purpose built aluminium runners used, UHMW, hardwood, even plywood.
Does anyone have experience with more than one type and any opinions either way on each one?
I'm leaning towards UHMW as it won't chip or wear like wood and should slide easier than aluminium (I could be wrong though).
