I was in the Royal Oak, MI Rockler yesterday and saw the sliding table accessory on clearance for ~$360. It has about 36" of travel and requires no additional support. It also only adds about 10" to the saw or almost nothing if you remove the extension wing. I bought one early this year and it was easy to set up. I've been very pleased with the performance too. Let us know if anyone picks it up.

I have been working on some book cases lately and the SMT of the BT has made me determined I will not own a saw without a sliding table. And IF I ever change to a more powerful saw, and buy a SMT, I will make sure it has some great reviews.
I have had my SMT off and on the BT3000 several dozen times in the last 4 weeks, and about every 10th time, I check it with a registration square and square. Dead on square and parallel every time. I think it has been 4 years since I last aligned it.
Sliding Tables, if they are accurate and stay accurate, take the saw into another another level of usefulness!Last edited by leehljp; 10-08-2009, 06:56 AM.Hank Lee
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted!

I must say I have to agree with you on this. In the past 5 years, my saw has been stored, trucked, moved, stored and trucked again (from Niagara Falls, to Clarskville, TN to Federal Way, Wa) and when I finally got down to setting it all back up, the saw was completely dead on excepct for the tilt being off about 1 degree.Dave
