I've been considering making a horizontal mortiser and have been wondering about the x-y slides. I've had the garage sale add from Rockler on my email and finally got around to looking at some of the products. I see they have some "dovetail bar stock" listed. Looks like its aluminum. I know there's a lot of drawer slides used but was wondering if the dovetail key stock would work without binding or have too much slop? Or do you think there would be too much drag. Sorry, don't know how to link the ad. Has anyone else seen/used this stuff? Greg
