What is a Denote step
I was referring to climbing. I haven't tried a ratchet strap on them, but with my boat buckle I couldn't get them tight enough to use as a platform. I won't use a ratchet strap so they won't work for me. I don't like the design.
nice

I need to get back to work on them again. I don't have a mill so I had to do it with a drill press, Dremel, and portaband. I really wanted to make something that guys could make on their own but they take a long time. I bought some new cutter bits to use in my Dremel to see if that will speed up the process. I have been extremely busy with work since saddlepalooza and have not had any time to work on them. I'm hoping on another 2 to 3 weeks I will be caught up with my extra Springtime work and we'll have some extra time to fool with them.
I don't know if this will help you, but did you know they make a small router table for a dremel? It is limited but for the $27 bucks I have used it for a bunch of stuff.
How much range of adjustment is there on the depth. I would have to make a lot of adjustments so it would take small amounts of material at a time, but may still be more precise than doing it by hand.
I'm trying to see how these would attach to the step I'm going to look at it some more tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Do you have any of these slides already and if so could you take some different pictures of them? Possibly some pictures showing how you would attach them to the bolt on steps.

Its not easy. You really set it to a depth and then have at it. You'd have to change the depth manually. It worked well when I wanted to route a hole in an aluminum tube. It is not good enough to go through a 1/2 piece of aluminum. Maybe it won't work for you, but when you mentioned dremel I thought I'd mention it.
Thanks for the suggestion. They also make a drill press for the Dremel that you can put an XY table on( I think it may have to be modified some if I remember correctly). The biggest difference between this and a regular drill press is the Dremel can be sideloaded. The biggest problem is it is not very Stout. I'm going to see if I can find one of these in the store so I can take a better look at it. Even if the adjustment is manual if it can just go a little bit at a time it might be worth being able to make the hole a little straighter. The next problem to solve this how to get the material to clear the slot so it doesn't keep clogging the bits up.
I get what he's talking about. The slide doesn't attach to the step. It's held there by strap pressure.
