    T Slot fillers

    Tired of cleaning out those T slots, prevention being better than cure why not fill them up with inserts.
    I made mine for my boring table from pieces of oak flooring off cuts to an easy fit and soaked them in thin oil before use.
    Made them just below the top surface so they can stay put until you need the slot for something, I could claim its saved me hours but in truth I have merely got rid of a minor irritant in having to running brushes though them.
    This is only practical for short slots as in a lathe when a lot of set up changes are done and there is no room for cover boards.
    Regards
