does it handle metal slides?

Sorry, didn't know there was such a thing and I gave mine away when I was done with it.

I am not sure as I do not have any metal slides. This is a great viewer though and worth the investment

I don't have metal slides but if they are the same size as the standard cardboard slides, I don't see why not. You insert them in the slot one at a time.

I personally do not have metal slides. But the slot that you slide the slide into is one and seven eights inches so I would assume it would work.

I have only used it for 35mm slides so far, don't think it would work for negative since the slot is set to accept slides. I don't think I have any I can try.

As long as it is Arca compatible, it should. I do not have this slide. All of my Arca compatible slides do work with this mount.

I've had this installed for about a month and we've had no problems with it slipping. My husband and I are always adjusting it because of our difference in height. The holder is metal. the only part that is plastic is the button that you push to adjust the holder on the slide bar.

Mark, I used it for slides and it worked well, It comes with a slider that you put your negatives in, you should be fine.

The slides are heavy enough to carry the load and they work very well,smooth. The hard part will be attaching them to metal sides and drawers. I used them in a wooden chest of drawers and attached them with #6x3/4 sheet metal screws that came with the slides, and they work great

Yes, it is. However, it got broke after 1st month of use(slide doesn't stop anymore)

not really. this slider is a joke, it is not professional and absorbs TONS of noise in movement.

It will indeed, provided it's a high-quality slide mechanism... It is a bit heavy

They do not slide on a metal glide however there is a metal "keeper" that prevents the wooden slide to separate from the table top. We have had a set for several years and recently bought one as a gift. They are serviceable and easy to clean.

It will only handle 2 x2 slides. I also use an adapter that will hold loose 2 x 2 slides. What other slides were you trying to use?

I'm not positive but I don't think there will be any problem, if you have the slide controls in the center between the 2 rotating controls it should be fine.

Yes it does, the frame and the slide is fully metallic. Just the grips are plastic.

I would think so, but don't really know! But I've used mine on wood flooring with no issues. The plastic bottom is smooth on the slider.

Yes. The slide will clear 7/8" or so. You could also use 1/4" piece of plywood to assure the clearance.

I measured the clearance between the top and bottom inside surfaces of the slide holder and it measures 0.128" (1/8") on mine. Unless you have exceptionally thick slide frames, I would think it would work. Better measure how thick your slide frames are.

Yes, if you are prepared to remove the film from the holder, either cardboard or plastic with glass. The duplicator is too small to accept standard slides in cardboard or glass/plastic. Too bad, it looked like a good product.
