<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Just to add to the confusion, my guide slot is 1" and the boards are flat 11/16". That seems like a lot of play, but they don't rattle around. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

After 30 years of sanding and refinishing my boards were quite loose in the slots and occasionally would slide down over each other. I solved the problem by applying standard foam insulation strips the length of the slots. The foam holds the boards securely and gives just enough compression to take care of the movement I was experiencing. The foam was stuck to the bottom of the channels as opposed to the sides. Cost about $2.

Normal woodworking tools cut through it like hard soap. With power tools, just keep the speed down. And try to collect the chips and dust--it's just another one of those permanent pollutants to the environment.
