I had some 4x8 oak plywood to cut down for a sound mixer cabinet. Fortunately the box store cut the sheets down to 4x4 so I could get them home and make them a little easier to handle. Now to figure a safe way to cut on my BT3.
Seeing as my shop is in a shared garage( shared with bikes and gardening stuff), I could not have dedicated outfeed tables and such. So I started with a couple of "slide" tables that set up in my work mates( the slides are melemine strips). The side support is a rolling shop cart with slides attached to the top. I used a roller stand to help with the infeed. If there's no pictures, it didn't happen....so here's some pics.
Here's the ply ready to go through the blade. You can see the two outfeed sliders behind the wood.
A couple of shots showing the shop cart/side feed table.
A couple of views after the cut.

Overview showing side table and outfeed with cut ply still on other outfeed.
I also added an extension to the fence to make it longer. Thanks for having a look.

Got it done but was a little scary. BTW, did you notice the amount of dust still flying around after the cut, all the little spots in the pic? Either that or it is snowing in your garage.
