   Trevor,

   How do this slides compare to more expensive ones? Any problems with sticking or more difficult to mount?

   You might try your local hardwood wholesaler. Moving from retail to wholesale saves close to 50%. I bought some Hettich soft close undermount slides for $25 per pair and Bloom from Rockler or Woodcraft are as I remember it around $45 per pair.You could get lower quality ones that are still pretty good for $12 per pair.Domer

   I typically only buy the cheap sliders, I can't justify spending a lot of money on "high end" sliders for the shop.  And I'd rather spend the money I save on new tools :-)<!----><!----><!---->

   As far as I can tell they are the same as the sliders you can get at Home Depot or Lowes, just for a 1/3 of the price they charge.<!----><!---->

   They work fine for me. Occasionally I'll blow them out with compressed air (just to get rid of any saw dust) and lube then up with wd40.<!----><!---->

   A&H Turf supply has the lowest prices for Accuride that I know of.

   If the sliders do not have to be new check a office supply store  to see if they have any used cabinets for sale or free.  The handles might work for you too.
