I'm making a table saw guard out of Lexan and am going to use a plate of 6061 aluminum to act as a splitter and support. The blade cuts an 1/8" wide kurf and the aluminum is a 1/8" wide. The guard fits around the splitter and slides up and down. The surface area is about 2"x3" on both sides of the aluminum and should be moving loosely. Anybody have any thoughts as to the strength of the aluminum and/or the wear of the Lexan to the aluminum? R. Wink
