    Mating Incra with BT3100

    Folks,

    just got my Incra rail and fence package (thank you Amazon prime overnight for $3.99, lmao) with the 32 inch positioner. Now Im in the process of mating things up.

    The simple solution is to drill holes about 1.5 inches from the top of the table and take off the Ryobi rails.

    Unfortunately I have to do things the hard way (and I want a deeper table top and intend add that in after the rails are set). I've got some Woodpeckers angle brackets that are meant for their Wondertrack. For the front rail I am using the Ryobi rail's top track with some t-nuts from the link on this forum. Need to add a couple spacers to raise everything a little bit further, but that will work. In the back I intend to use the bottom track to accomplish the same thing.

    Has anybody done this before successfully? Would love to hear about it (pitfalls and great ideas for example).

    Success - with pics attached

    Got it to work!!! Thankfully I got it all to work without having to go to the hardware store for parts.

    Below are some pictures of where and how I attached the mounting brackets. The silver brackets are from Woodpeckers and are sold as a bracket for their super fence.

      Very interesting solution to adapting the Incra TS to the Ryobi. I am considering buying an Incra TS system as well, but was just thinking I would replace the BT rails with the Incra rails. A couple questions:

      Are you still able to use the sliding table with your arrangement?

      Did you have to purchase the longer fence and base support to reach from rail to rail?

      Thanks, Ed
