    Al, thanks a million, so the opening at the "top" of the t-slot is only .60 wide? I haven't put a mic on mine yet, but a 3/4" miter bar has plenty of slop in mine. Guess I'll have to keep digging...

    I'll just say that the show is less of a show and more like a sidewalk sale. Even quite a few of the vendors are no longer providing the demonstrations they did a few years back. My first time was...
