I have a ryobi bt3000 which has been a very good saw and while I'd love to be able to upgrade, I can't afford to right now.
One thing that I have a love/hate relationship with is the sliding mitre table so as part of building a cabinet for the saw and extending the rails, I'm making some tabletops for it with a couple of t slots(the bt doesn't have mitre slots).
I'll get the t track and either aluminium or uhmw runners to use and this leads to my question.
On a regular table saw with mitre slots, do the sled runners just sit in the slot? I'm thinking that if I want say 12" of clearance from the sled fence to the blade, my sled is going to overhang the top by say 4-6 inches and I'm thinking is the sled is going to want to tip up towards me. Does this happen on any of your sleds?
