Who's made one? What design did you go for an for what reasons? I've no longer got access to the one I used to use, so it's come time for me to make my own...
Or should I just stewmac it?

make one .. its way too easy .... its literally a 3 minute job.

Piece of scrap maple, cut a slot on the table saw at 35 degrees, then add a file and hold it in with a couple of blunted wood screws .. mines been in service for years .... all of 5 bucks worth for a file. If you want to do the UHMW plastic, get some from lee valley or wherever.
