Search for the part number and then pick them up from M and D Mower parts:

There's many different designs people have done. I made mine with a t-track and a miter slot. The way I have my 21829 set up I like the narrow design of the miter slot tables I did so the SMT or my tenon jig isn't that much farther from the blade.

Rav thanks, they're on ebay for about 20 bucks
Erik, nice job! how do they mount to the saw? did they just bolt countersunk to the side of the aluminum tops? pic would be great

I made my own using Incra T-track and MDF so that they would actually fit a standard miter gage because the alum. ones were sloppy and I never found the SMT to be all that helpful. Made one for each side of the blade.
There should be a pic of my BT on here somewhere, perhaps in the for sale area, from when I went to the dark side.

The left side uses bolts through the aluminum top in new holes about an inch closer to the blade. There's a couple holes already there for the ryobi miter tables, but they were a little too far out for mine. The right side one fastens with bolts into the sheetmetal flanges of the saw next to the aluminum table. The fasteners are machine screws that also pass through the miter track and are part of the fasteners holding the track and mdf togeather.
