[SML] question for router wizards

[Mike Katz]

Bill, I have done much larger ellipses on a plywood base, or sometimes I
have just tacked 1x strips to the plywood to create the slots.  I have
never dovetailed the sliders. The slots were dados made either on the table
saw or on a Router table or as I said just with strips of wood. I have put
a stage weight on arm to keep it held down, or  student who usually did not
do the job quite as well.
Your mileage might vary but the method does work extremely well.
Mike
