The primary challenge with miter bars seems to be the slots, not the bars. Now remove the slides and drill the holes larger for clearance, counter sink the tops and attach the slides. Now pull it out, turn it over and use a small drill bit and drill the holes, make sure the bit is small enough that it will not damage the threads on the slides, you can also use a transfer punch if you have one. Now place the base against the ripe fence and lower it down until it rest on the slides and press it down. Place some turner tape on the slides and peel the backing off the tape. Now place some shims under them so the are just above the table saw top, I just use paper. Remove the base and place your slides in the slots and see if they fit side to side and adjust if needed for a good fit. Move the fence over until it just touches the right side of the base and lock it down. Now set the base on the table saw where you want it to set in relation to the blade. Make sure your table saw fence is set up correctly to the blade of the saw. Here is the way I put mine on and it worked very well and both slide run correctly. The screw holes are very critical and must be drilled in the correct place or your slider will not run well in the slot. The fit well and they are light which is a plus in that sleds are some what heavy. I use the Incra, I have tried wood, steel and plastic and I like the Incra the best.
