Hi, all. I'm a new member and this is my first post.
recently purchased a BT3100 and am now trying to come to grips with some of the shortcomings I should have reckoned with before parting with my money.
One is the absence of miter tracks in the table surface, which makes the build/use of a crosscut sled somewhat problematic. I am wondering if I could just attached miter rails to the underside of the sled, so as to line up with the outer edges of the center/fixed saw table. Then I could pull the sliding tables on the right and left in, snugly bracing the sled rails. I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this issue in this way, and what kind of accuracy I might expect.
Otherwise, I've seen a photo online of miter tracks set in to wood rails and somehow attached to the center table. Can anyone point me in the direction of a plan or solution for this?
I would appreciate any help you can offer or suggest.
Thanks.
