Description

The idea behind using UHMW material for making jigs and fixtures is that the material stands up to friction better than wood and lower quality or lower density plastics. This makes it ideal for sleds where repetitive sliding happens regularly. Its also very slick in comparison to wood and other plastics. Even though its "slick", it does NOT leave behind any residue which means no clean up after use. We all know how residue left on a table saw can be rather irritating and even harder to remove.

UHMW is 10 times heavier than regular high density polyethylene making it extremely durable for constant repetitive use. Ideal for sleds where repetitive sliding happens regularly.
