Nothing fancy - but I have an upcoming project that requires use of a cross-cut sled, so I took some remnants of Incra miter track and reclaimed scrap redwood (old growth, tight rings, very dense), and built this simple unit, which I have finally got around to mounting on my 21829. Made some mounting brackets, and used some of the original large square t-nuts and 5/16 bolts to mount it to the rails at ~1/32in in below height of main table. Tracks are parallel to within 0.003 inch, and parallel to blade within the same. Thanks for looking.

A MST for my 21829
Bill in Buena ParkTags: None -
That's cool. I did mine with a miter slot, and a T-Track slot and fastened them to the saw rather than the rails. I used to think I would shift the rails on my 21829, but once I added a half rail set I never move them.
How'd you get a hold of a second 21829 accessory table?ErikComment

Thanks Joe - I hope it works for my sled. My only question is: is there a benefit to using two miter bars on my sled (being that the two miter bars would only be 1.5in apart), or is one good enough?
Erik, I don't think I'll be moving the rails - after I took the time to get them DNO to use the rule on the rail for my rip fence, I really haven't needed to move them.
And as Charlie indicates, I purchased the second 21829 accessory table from Sears parts. They were not around used when I was looking. That is a must-have for me, because most of the time, I leave the two butted up against the main table just for the extra rip capacity to be available when needed. Also, I have my first acc. table set up with a router (to back up my dedicated router table), and I can put the second acc. table in front to create more table surface for the router when I need it.Bill in Buena ParkComment

If I did mine again, I'd probably mount it to the rails too.
What did you all pay for the table?
I picked up a few BT accessory tables, and I'll use one or two. I like the 21829 table a little better because it will swap with the SMT, the BT tables are narrower. I can live with the color difference. I still haven't figured out a good use for the miter slots on it. Using it for an occaisional featherboard in a position that my dual slots can't do is about it.ErikComment

Since it was new, I believe I paid $70 - painful, but its done, and I rationalize by telling myself that the cast-in router mounting holes would let me set up a third router if I ever needed to have 3 bits set up......right.
I believe the only use for the miter slots on the acc. tables are for use with the router, such as with a miter gauge, or a coping sled that uses a miter bar. If I'm using my coping sled, though, I generally use it on my dedicated router table, so the miter slots on my acc. tables are used primarily to store an extra pencil or a long thin push stick.Bill in Buena ParkComment
