Perfect
Just what I was looking for. Fit the miter slot for my feather board. Quality wise is good and performed as hoped. Great value also

So useful!
This seems like a completely useless purchase but it is really handy for all kinds of stuff.

Decent track bar, but a bit tedious to set up.
The bar is about 15 thousandths less than the nominal 3/4" width, and the slop is taken up with nylon set screws in crosswise threaded holes. So in order to adjust this, you have to have the set screw you're adjusting out of the miter slot in a "cut and try" sort of process. I've never used nylon adjusters before, and I hope they don't wear out too soon. Perhaps aluminum or brass screws would have been a better choice. I'm not knocking the bars, for the money I think they're alright, I just think they could be better.

Fits an older Delta 10" Tilting Arbor saw perfectly
Beautifully made, includes all mounting screws and set screws. With set screws, was able to easily get a snug and play-free fit.

Powertec Do Better (They Did Better) Read the review
I like the product but, the set screws are too small. I read this in other reviews and took my chances. The other reviews on this issue were correct. The miter bar itself is perfect. To solve the loose set screws you have to wrap teflon tape around the set screws to get a secure fit. Powertec could solve this by providing M5 set screws instead of the 10-32. The M5 is slightly bigger and should work fine. However, to get a small set of M5 screws you would have to pay almost as much for the screws as the miter bar itself. If they resolve this issue. It is a 5 out of 5 across the board. One outstanding feature is the number of set screw holes. They are every 3 inches. Many points of contact. Solve the small set screw issue and you have a perfect product.Update 3/7/23... I contacted Powertec about the set screws being to small. They responded quickly to the email and sent out the corrected set screws. The set screws fit much better and are snug enough to not loosen over time. Kudos to Powertec for making the correction to a QC issue. Still my favorite source for miter bars. By far the best product and price point. Customer service is also A+. Don't be afraid to reach out to them, even for a new set of set screws. Buy with confidence.

Miter slot bars
These fit normal size miter slots in woodworking equipment. I purchased these to make a crosscut sled. They work well, they have adjustable screws in them for eliminate zero side to side movement.

good fit
Just what I was looking for to fit 3/4" track on table saw for feather board. Had considered buying elevator bolts and filing edges to bit, but these saved me the hassle.

Not a good fit for my SawStop
I picked up 10 of these to use in the slots of my SawStop. They are nicely crafted, well plated, BUT ... the fit is really sloppy. I figured the flat sides were to keep the heads from rotating in the slots, but the heads are free to spin. The SawStop t-slots are 1.000" (near as I can tell), and the bolts are 0.884 across the flats and 0.970 across the heads. The result? The bolts spin and it is a pain to tighten any knobs or nuts on the threads.I ended up making some wooden blocks to keep the bolts centered and prevent rotation, but just sizing them different would have improved them immensely. A great idea, but not well executed :(I attached a few pictures of the sizing and the wood block. Now they work fine, but what a headache.

Good product.
This t-bar arrived promptly after ordering in perfect condition in commercial packaging. It is precisely made.

Superior Mitre Slot bar
These are very nice mitre slot bars, well finished and it's convenient to have the screw holes pre-drilled. They fit a Dewalt DW744 Table saw slots with a slight amount of play, less than 1mm. The only improvement I can think of is to use brass set screws for the slot adjustment.

Best fit
The bars are aluminum which means perfect shape and for long years. The small screws will help in creating the perfect square angle with the fence when setting the slide
