Mitre bar and channel sourcing

[Cosens1]

Where do you buy mitre bar and channel from?

I'm making a poor-mans track saw, and plan to bolt one of my circular saws to mitre bars, fix the channel to some ply, make the initial cut and away I go...

I've found various sliders on the Amazon, but not sure if any old track/channel will fit, or if there's a better pace for me to buy this.
Mitre bar - Amazon

Any ideas?

Cheers

Table saw mitre slots are fairly standardised at 3/4" (19.05mm) x 3/8" (9.53mm). The mitre bar you show is made to this measurement.

This might be a possibility for the channel:

Just be very careful that you buy mitre track and _not_ T-track.

Perfect, thank you my man!
Glad to hear the Mitre v T is a real thing though, whats the difference?

My understanding is that T-track is for jigs, fixtures and clamping. Mitre track is as you say, for mitre bars.

If you compare the dimensions of T and mitre in the link above, you see the difference. Seeing a photo of the two without any dimensions, it would be easy to muddle the two up.

If you are searching, try the International English spelling of miter as well as the UK one.

We have a wide selection of both mitre bar and mitre track.
