My Delta miter gauge works fine on a t-track, but the track on my Rocker
router table is a stardard 3/4 without accommodations for the tees.
Looking for an inexpensive miter gauge. I've drooler a bit over the
Incra and Kreg, but can't see investing $80 to $180. Anybody have an
extra they want to get rid of?
Yep, same I made a coping sled too.
I also agree with Leon, I don't really need it.
Just reference to the fence.
I use replaceable offcuts as my square if I need to.

Do I understand that you want a miter gauge to fit your router table?
If that is correct,,, Think about it, do you really need one?
30+ years of serious wood working and I have never needed a miter gauge
for the router table. Use a piece of plywood about 10" square as your
miter gauge. Push it and with your work in front of it along the fence.

Since it will be dedicated to your router table, why not make one with
maple runner and birch ply?

I would say along the same lines as Leon and Lew, but if you are
making doors I like a coping sled for the crosscuts on the rails.
Here's one you can copy or buy. I made mine out of 3/4"birch ply with
a DeStayco clamp (hope that's spelled right) and a replaceable backer.
Pretty basic but real accurate. I have better luck for this operation
holding it against the fence VS miter gauge slot. YMMV
