I just reviewed some of the excellent old threads that discuss board buddies and their installation, and have a quick question for those of you who have them. What's the thickness of those phenolic bases that you can buy to mount them on? I bought the board buddies alone and am about to mount them using some BB ply (3/4") with T-track on top of my fence, and I was going to use that same 3/4 ply (it has a phenolic coating/veneer) to make some bases on which I was going to mount the board buddies. I was just wondering if that would raise them up high enough and how my home-made bases will compare to the ones they sell. My guess from looking at them is that I would be ok with that setup.
