I posted this a few years ago - and I've moved again and come across these aluminum extrusions for the BT3X00.
A good friend recently gave me his Delta Industrial Unisaw so I ended up giving my saw away to my sister last month.
Many, many years ago I purchased some supplies from T-Nuts.
See here: http://t-nuts.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=14&products_id=1 75&osCsid=0aaec58551c97786bc3c0e3538644d87
When talking with the owner (Rob?), I found out that they had some lengths of the fixture block aluminum extrusions for the BT3X00 that were "seconds" (scratches on them).
I offered to purchase a few of them as I had ideas on jigs/fixtures, etc.
I came across the package of them and I'll never use all of the extrusions that I bought.
These are used for the top of the fence, the SMT fence, and in the rails (not sure if they may go elsewhere)
A bit more about the fixture blocks themselves:
I have three of the extrusions 24" in length - and two other pieces which total 24" in length.
The two shorter segments that I have are ~10" and ~14" (totaling another ~24")
Any interest in these to make your own fixture blocks, rail extension stiffeners, etc?
I'd let them go for a postage + a couple dollars for a coffee to know they are going to a good home.
If you don't care about the total length, I can cut these down on my bandsaw to 6" or 8" pieces to help save on shipping.
For some reason USPS, UPS, etc. pricing increases for anything 12"+
You can make these fixture blocks below by cutting, drilling & tapping them.
