    Attaching featherboards to bt3k fence

    I think I saw some photos of how to attach feather boards and fence extensions to the BT3k. Anyone in the forum have suggestions on how to do this without drilling into the fence?

    You can slide bolts into the t-slots, I think the slots took 1/4" bolts but I sold my BT3 years ago and no longer remember. There are some articles on this in the articles section of the site A couple of them are referenced below as well as a link that ties back to all the old articles that were on the site in the beginning. There is an entire section on fence attachments in the middle of the page. The fixture blocks are now available through the T-Nuts.com and are under the Saw Parts section.

    A bit late to the party, but here is another solution. Uses a variation of the fixture block, and mounts on top of the rip fence.

    Hope this isn't a duplicate from the Legacy Articles.
