Greetings all,
New to the forum and a quick (probably too quick) of a search didn't yield what I was really looking for. So, I thought I'd make a new post.
I have a BT3100 that I've owned for about 10 years, but probably haven't used in about 4 or 5. Still works great, except for the Sliding Miter Table. It simply doesn't slide. Apparently years of being in sub-zero Minnesota temps in my garage resulted in brittle plastic slides that cracked and are no longer working.
I took a look online and bought new plastic parts for the slide only to find out that one was missing. In fact, the missing one is no longer made. It's the bottom plastic slide (Part #661844, or Slide "A").
I called Ryobi and, sure enough, they don't make it anymore.
Now I'm either at a point where I'm looking for a workaround. I'm not sure I want to build anything, but is there an aftermarket sliding fence that people have found success with?
Thanks in advance,
David
