I needed to make some "fittings/spacers" for my Delta saw fence tube to table supports, first I made them out of ash wood, my screw up, grain the wrong way and split under pressure, then bought a sheet of 3/4", 12"x12" UHMW, machines like wood, made the strip I needed, and whala!!
Measure once, cut as many times as needed to get it right! Bob

It will 'compress' under pressure, so keep the gorilla locked up.;)
