I finally gave in and started using the sander like Alex a while back and it certainly works brilliantly! I also went to a lot of trouble making a dedicated 45 sled for the sliding table saw for doing frames and the like and it worked well on the usual timbers I tried it on like Silky Oak and Red Cedar. However, this week I tried cutting some 65mm wide Scrub Leopardwood and the joins looked awful - something to do with blade deflection in such tough wood I suspect so it was off to the sander to true them up - all good now

I made myself a Double Mitre Fence as they are ridiciously expensive to buy.
Its a quick and dirty one as I didn't feel the need to put a scale on it as I thought I would only need 45° cuts.
I can change it later if the need arises.
I set it up with a square against the blade and lock it down.
I have sealed it and varnished it since I took this pic.
