I recently started a project that required mortise-and-tenon joints. I decided to make the tenons on the table saw using the miter gauge with an extension and a stopblock. To keep workpieces from slipping, I used PSA sanding disks on the miter gauge. However, no matter how well I cleaned and prepared the surface on the miter gauge and extension, the discs always popped loose.
Finally, I found a solution at the local hardware store: outdoor safety strips, the kind used on stairs and ladders to prevent slipping. The adhesive is much more robust than the PSA sanding disks, and their size worked perfectly on the miter gauge.
