    There are twin track miter table inserts available on eBay from time to time. They tend to be spendy sometimes - about $100 but if you’re not in a hurry there are some bargains that come up. I have one (not for sale) but I think that it would be relatively easy to make out of 2x4 lumber. In fact I think there are plans and instructions here on the sawdust zone but I don’t have immediate location..perhaps in the FAQs that are available.

    Most parts are still available on eBay - search Ryobi (bt3000, bt3100) to get most of the listings. Please note that one of the slides (top slide - 4 per) on the miter saw is not available but there may be some coming up made by saw owners by 3D printing.

    Miter slot table, where to find one ?
    New to this site , not sure how to get help finding parts
    Look in the separate forums

    often there are posts for items, you can request items, and sometimes people post that they have entire saws available for parting out.
    Another venue is eBay with keywords BT3000 or BT3* and sometimes the name of the part you want.
    This site has a search tool, it works better if you select advanced search. which includes i think a date range (since we have for sale stuff going back 15 years), forum group,

    Also you might look at DIY miter slot tables, they are not that hard to build with prebought miter slot extrusions.
    Occasionally one will appear on eBay too. Some of the best ones that I have seen - have been as Loring mentioned - individuals made their own out of 3/4 plywood or 1 inch board, dado a groove to add a miter slot track. Those work great too.

    you should really browse the search for items matching "miter slot", I know there's more than what I found above in short order.
    This site is a treasure trove of BT3 experiences but you have to be a little patient and try different terms.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
